Hello again,
It has been a long time under linux, but there is only one thing thats bugging me off and its that 4 keys do not work under Fedora.
I thought it may be system incompatibility but I’m now in F43 and this still happens, so maybe there’s something else that I don’t know.
The keys that do not work are: f3, f4, fn, and language. I don’t really care about the 2 last ones, but f3 and f4 are really used. I have to bring a separate keyboard to bring functionality back.
What could it be?
digged the journal and saw the kernel yelling about unrecognized keys so i did
sudo setkeycodes e054 0x170 #(KEY_LANGUAGE)
sudo setkeycodes e055 0x174 #(KEY_FULL_SCREEN)
sudo setkeycodes e056 210 #(KEY_PRINT)
and the keys are now recognized by the kernel!
Thing is, LANGUAGE does not work. Not recognized by keyd (submitted issue) nor by KDE (without keyd enabled). But zoom and print work, so its a win for me.
Sadly the kernel doesn’t say anything about fn. So its really unrecognizable except for ChromeOS, unless someone submits a patch with code used by Chrome/ChromiumOS I can’t see this key being used ever.
