FN keys 7 to 12 not working properly (fedora 39 on Framework)
Hey there! I just reinstalled fedora and noticed my fn keys 7 to 12 do not work. The rest do their jobs, but i cant change brightness and airplane mode anymore.
I could not find any usefull help online, so i hope you have some hints. :)
Thanks a lot!
There are tweaks needed, easiest way to get them imo is https://ublue.it
Most likely they're still working they're just not mapped. If you have xenv (terminal command) installed it'll show you key presses. If they don't show up under xenv then they aren't working or are already being captured by something. Otherwise you'll want to find a way to map them which is probably dependent on your DE.
On my last install they did work without changes. Any reason why it would not this time?
Not that I can think of except maybe that whatever program was managing those hotkeys may have changed. If they show up as the wrong thing in xenv then that means your keyboard layout is set incorrectly.
Are you able to use f12 to get into the boot menu?
yes (even though i now have 2 fedora instalatoins shown that apearently lead to the same installation.
But i just noticed, that only the fn7 and 8 do not work, airplane mode does work!
Afaik those keys should work ootb, especially on fedora.
Which framework version do you have?
Worked ok the last install flawless immediately. I have the first European batch of fw13 with i7 11gen
Hm ok im not familiar with the 13. Tweaks on the 12 (and i think the 13 too) are needed only for the brightness keys.
Personally i would try a reinstall, as unfortunate as that sounds. Especially since it sounds like its a pretty fresh install.
