http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175646 Bug ID: 1175646 Summary: After bios update, some keyboard function keys not recognized. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Leap 15.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: zhonb@yahoo.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I performed a bios update on a Dell precision 7530, which resolved my issue with the bug reported here: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175626 However, the new bios version (1.13.1) does not map the keyboard function keys correctly. Some work (e.g., volume control, keyboard backlight) and some don't (wifi toggle, screen brightness). Is there a way to map the new keyboard configuration in the bios so it works correctly in openSUSE? The keyboard functions correctly in windows. It does not work correctly in LEAP, tumbleweed or the latest fedora release. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Tried those. The only events that produce any output are on the keyboard test. Also, after updating systemd-hwdb with the new file, none of the function keys work at all. Previously, volume control and keyboard backlight worked, now nothing does. The standard keys work fine, just not the "Fn" keys. The only thing I changed in the 60-keyboard.hwdb file was the info for the wlan, but somehow the update removed all the other functionality as well.
Then it's possible that the keys are now handled in WMI or such layer, and maybe not supported in the Linux kernel yet. Did you try all input events, not only PS, right? You should try the same with the recent upstream kernel. Just install the 5.8.x kernel from OBS Kernel:stable repo onto your current system and retest with it. If you verify the same problem with the latest kernel, this should be handled by the upstream. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
