You previously said that:

So the Fn key is getting recognized by the kernel. What you need to do
now is to map this key to something useful (making Fn + Up generate
PageUp for example), and you have to play with keymaps here.

There are several keymaps for this floating around, I know of at least
one made by Jochen Voss. As I said previously, I don't use the Fn key
myself yet (I've mapped PgUp etc to Alt+Up etc), so I cannot help on
this matter.
