in my TOSHIBA SATELLITE L50-B, the fn key started working
the inverse of how it should after upgrading to kernel 6.9.7
fn+function key used to emit an actual function key press, now instead
it emits a hotkey press and the key itself emits an actual function key
press. there are some recent commits to toshiba_acpi, but i cant see how
it could affect my hardware.
what could be the reason i lost the old behavior?
Hi,
it seems that commit 23f1d8b47d12 ("platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Add quirk for buttons on Z830")
botched up the DMI quirk handling.
The global quick flag is tested in toshiba_acpi_enable_hotkeys(), which is called by
toshiba_acpi_setup_keyboard() before the global quirk flag is properly initialized.
Can you compile kernel modules on your device? If yes, then i can send you a prototype version
of this driver which should fix this issue.
Thanks,
Armin Wolf
