Re: FN hotkeys not working after kernel loads (Was: Dell Latitude 5400 + plasma - keyboard?)

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Good news! I got partly success with this issue. Now volume upand down is 
workiing in KDE, but still NOT screen brightness.

What did I do? 
I first created a new user and then could see, volume is working. After that I 
moved some directories from my old user away. 
First ~/.local - no success.
then ~/.kde - no success
last ~/.config - success.

Now I knew, some config is making trouble. So moved the most suspicous away:

Anything with "keyb" in its name, or "kbd" - no success.

Then all files below ~/.config - success

Now moved one after another back. And at last, I found it is 

kdeglobalshortcutsrc

Strange, this was the one I moved away at first, but got no success.

Short before long: My efforts resulted in half success, as brightness can 
stoill not be controlled and in XFCE still volume control not working (so I 
guess, same issue with some config).

After all the work, I believe, that some configs still got settings from my 
former notebook which was a Lenovo T520. As I put the harddrive into this one 
(DELL Latiude 5400), some config files are not overwritten since creation.

You can say: delete ~/.config and ~/.local and set everything new. Yes, I 
could do this, but this is a lot(!) of work and I want to avoid it. 

So still hints are welcome and I suppose, we will all learn of it, don't we?

Have fun! 

Best
