If you still have trouble you can select a preference to make the fn modifier use the f-keys for hardware control and the f-keys alone control hardware. I do not have this selected to make this work, and it worked when I did as well.

I guess, if the FN-Ctrl-F2 and FN-Ctrl-F3 doesn't work on a portable, you should try Fn-Ctrl-F1 and then it would work.

After hittning the ctrl-F1 combo, neither of the two we've just learned worked anymore. Hitting them again restored the commands.
