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!

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
