Dear all,

I just recently updated to Lion and was at first appalled by the lack of colors of the Finder, but then also shocked to find out that the iMac simply won't sleep anymore, because I have Internet Sharing enabled, something that wasn't a problem before.

I use the iMac as a Target Display for a PC - the PC Keyboard is connected to the iMac vs. a KVM Switch and works well, but what simply doesn't get transported are the hotkeys for changing the Brightness (for me F7 & F8) once I'm using the PC.
Does anybody us a PC keyboard on an iMac and the iMac as a Target Display? This is a very special setup, I know. I upgraded to Lion only because it was said to fix the Brightness adjusment bug under Snow Leopard, where you simply couldn't adjust the Brightness of the screen at all once it was used in target display mode. This got fixed, but only when I use an original Apple keyboard, only then do the keys work. Weird behaviour.
Maybe there is a tool to remap system shortcuts like Brightness and other to F7 in a way that they also work in Target Display mode.

Take care all
