I got a Compaq CQ62 laptop recently. I find that I have to hold down the Fn keys to use the standard F* keys while accessing the special functionalities like media keys does not.
This is frustrating as the standard keys are used more often the special functions. Is there anyway to fix it so that it behaves like other sane laptops out there?
I use Ubuntu Lucid, but this behavior is present on laptops running Windows 7 too.

I have an HP G72 ( HP G72-250us to be precise) laptop. I have the same problem. I have to hold down the function Fn key along with the F* keys in order to get "standard functionatliy."
To get into the BIOS, I pressed Esc or F10 during startup. The BIOS software for this HP model is called InsydeH20. At the System Configuration menu option, navigate to Action Keys and select Disable if you want to not have to press the Fn key to get standard use out of the function keys.
