FWIW, my installation generates X events also for the Fn key:
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x167, subw 0x0, time 18886981, (-13,41), root:(437,157),
state 0x0, keycode 151 (keysym 0x1008ff2b, XF86WakeUp), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x167, subw 0x0, time 18886991, (-13,41), root:(437,157),
state 0x0, keycode 151 (keysym 0x1008ff2b, XF86WakeUp), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
YMMV.
