# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="it"

when i run evtest, when i press fn+f2, f3, f6, f7 and f8, there is no output

i also ran showkey and pressed fn+f2, f3, f6, f7 and f8
$ showkey

Code: Select all

kb mode was UNICODE
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
keycode  28 release
keycode 224 press
keycode 224 release
keycode 225 press
keycode 225 release
keycode 113 press
keycode 113 release
keycode 114 press
keycode 114 release
keycode 115 press
keycode 115 release
should xev and showkey show different values for the keys?

As you can see in xev output, keyboard produces correct signals:
XF86MonBrightnessDown,
XF86MonBrightnessUp,
XF86AudioMute,
XF86AudioLowerVolume,
XF86AudioRaiseVolume.
So it is not problem of keyboard.
Do you have installed budgie-extras-daemon?

I have hoped, that it could help due this functionality:
