key

I have Kubuntu 12.04 installed on HP 430 Notebook PC. My problem is that when I press Super Key, nothing happened. Some of my Fn keys did not work either.

I have changed the Keyboard Model in System Settings>Hardware>Input Devices>Keyboard to Hewlett Packard Internet keyboard but doesn't seems to help. I have also Compiz-Config-Setting-Manager installed but I don't know how to make the right keyboard setting.

I would like to have the Super Key launch Start Menu Launcher as in MS-Windows, is it possible ...
Thanks for the help
