I switched it to "standard fn key" which appears to have improved the behavior in 12.1 tumbleweed that I'm currently running. I'll need to boot of the 12.2 cd when I get home (I don't have it here). Interestingly under Windows 7 and on the keycap the F3 key appears to be labeled as the increase screen brightness key, but under openSuse it is treated as the suspend key. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I got home and booted from the 12.2-RC1 KDE Live CD for x86-64. Please recall that the BIOS setting was adjusted so the "standard key codes" is selected rather than the setting for "special key codes" which was in place when I filed this bug.

The first key press is F3, the second key press if FN+F3. The second key press put the machine to sleep (i.e. suspend to RAM).

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

kb mode was ?UNKNOWN? [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...

keycode 61 press keycode 61 release keycode 142 press keycode 142 release linux@linux:~> linux@linux:~> showkey

Per showkey result, keycode on you machine is make sense now: All keycode definition is in linux/input.h in Linux kernel: #define KEY_F3 61 #define KEY_SLEEP 142 /* SC System Sleep */ So, 61 is F3, 142 is KEY_SLEEP. Do you think the BIOS option solve your issue? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For the purposes of the fix, I think this is good enough, we should close this, and the 12.1 variant of this bug, Bug 772646. Thanks for your help. On a side note, I have not yet identified all the keys, but FN+FX where x = 1..12 do not contain any key that maps to. However the laptop's power button does the job. #define KEY_WAKEUP 143 /* System Wake Up */ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The previous message was garbled. I was trying to say FX+FN where x is in 1..12 does not resolve to KEY_WAKEUP. I'll have to see if I can figure out the key mappings. Is there a system utility that will dump the key map or should I use showkey to try every key combination?

Yes, you need use showkey and press all Fn key. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
