Description of problem: The f1-12 buttons behave all wrong after install. If I push f1, the screen gets dimmed, f2 brightens it. f6 switches numlock on and off, f11 seems to put current app to fullscreen and back to normal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora release 6.93 (Rawhide), kernel 2.6.21-1.3116.fc7 How reproducible: Install fedora 7 latest on an ibook g4. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install f7test4 on ibook g4. 2. Login to gnome 3. press f1-12 keys Actual results: Included xev data from f1-12 presses, f6 caused no output. Expected results: f1-12 presses. Additional info:

I guess this goes a bit deeper as when I boot the system up to runlevel 3, the function keys don't work properly on the console either.
I think I've got this figured out to a certain point. The "fn" key is by default somehow already depressed and when I push fn+f1, I get the normal f1 function to happen. Any suggestions on what is wrong with my installation? :)
I guess kernel would be the more proper category now.
The weird bit is that the "fn" is interpreted as pressed down only for the f1-12 keys, but for using page up and page down the fn+arrow keys results in page up or down.
On F-7 with last updates the first Fx keys (F1-F6 if I remember correctly) works only with Fn modificator. HW: iBook G4 mid-2005.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Unfortunately I don't have the hardware anymore due to an accident with the machine and I've switched to a more recent hardware model. I'm sorry that I didn't remember to mention that here.
Thanks for the update.
