Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.3.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
My laptop is an Acer TravelMate 2303M. There is a blue 'Fn' (function) key
to activate extra (blue) functions on some keys. For instance, the 'j' key is
also '1' by pressing keys 'Fn' plus 'j'
Now the 'Fn' is inverted : I have to press Fn+j keys to get a 'j'.
Without the 'Fn' key I get a '1'.
Here is the output of "xev" while pressing and releasing the 'j' key (i.e.
without the 'Fn' key):
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x55, subw 0x0, time 203540, (340,244), root:(344,290),
state 0x10, keycode 87 (keysym 0xffb1, KP_1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) "1"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) "1"
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x55, subw 0x0, time 203670, (340,244), root:(344,290),
state 0x10, keycode 87 (keysym 0xffb1, KP_1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) "1"
XFilterEvent returns: False
Now, by pressing 'Fn+j' :
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x55, subw 0x0, time 205218, (340,244), root:(344,290),
state 0x10, keycode 44 (keysym 0x6a, j), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6a) "j"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6a) "j"
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
root 0x55, subw 0x0, time 205402, (340,244), root:(344,290),
state 0x10, keycode 44 (keysym 0x6a, j), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6a) "j"
XFilterEvent returns: False
As you can see, it should be the opposite.
However, on a text console, the 'Fn' behaves normally: 'j' means 'j'
and 'Fn+j' means '1'. Here is the "showkey" output:
0x24 (keycode 106 press)
0xa4
0x4f (keycode 49 press)
0xcf
