On Fedora 18 (Live CD LXDE) only Brightness_{UP,DOWN} and BACKLIGHT wasn't working. So I think it is regression.

Comment 2 Artur Szymczak 2013-07-12 10:08:02 UTC
Ok,

the problem is related to this module: "asus_nb_wmi" it isn't automatically loaded by system. If you load it all Fn keys work like a charm. (Fn + {F1, F2, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, T, C, V})

So, currently the bug is that asus_nb_wmi isn't loaded by default.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 19 kernel bugs.

Fedora 19 has now been rebased to 3.11.1-200.fc19.  Please test this kernel update and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 4 Artur Szymczak 2013-09-18 20:56:25 UTC
Fixed.

Comment 5 Josh Boyer 2013-09-18 20:57:25 UTC
