Using TW latest as of July 26 and XFCE desktop.

I purchased a new SSD and installed TW fresh. I've lost the ability to use the "FN" key along with the function key for changing volume, brightness and switching between the LCD/HDMI outputs. Is there a specific package I need to install to restore those features?

I don't know about packages. Perhaps there is. But to fix keyboard mapping problems in general you need to look at whatever facilities your desktop provides, and dive down to the underlying X facilities in dire cases.

I just replace my failed hd with a 1g ssd but running Tw. F(n) keys work as expected for me.

sorry, Tw and KDE/Plasma5

You can use xev and confirm the keyboard FN keys are mapped and functioning. Then it is a matter of seeing how xfce is then handling each of the FN key keypresses.

Not sure why but 'no' settings were in 'xfce settings-->keyboard-->application shortcuts' I selected 'reset all' and several magically appeared. Now screen switching, screen brightness, video controls and sound controls are once again working. thanks for the hints. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
