I don’t think you are hitting the right key sequence. Pressing the F1 key alone brings up
the gnome help, Fn-F1 does something hardware-dependent.
This is not generally true on newer laptops (and macs). The default of
pressing the key is the special function. To get an actual function key
(F1, etc), you have to use the Fn button. Sometimes there's a BIOS
setting to swap that.
