Bug ID: 298248
Summary: kbdmap: inactive keypress (function keys)
Product: Base System
Version: 16.0-CURRENT
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---

I have a laptop, Acer Nitro V15, with a french keyboard layout: see the
attached picture.
I am using fr.acc.kbd (vt), and the keys on the top row (F1 - F12) are mostly
inactive. Esc (échap), impr écr (print), inser, suppr, /, * and On/Off are
working, but no functions key, neither Alt-Fn nor Shift-Fn.
The other key rows and the numeric pad are OK.
In the BIOS there in a switch to select either the multimedia keys or the
functions keys, and I selected the functions keys.
In console or graphical mode with xev I get the same thing:
F1 - F6: inactive
F7: p
F8: l
F9 - F10: nothing
F11: adjust luminosity of the keyboard, no character
F12: S
Also attached id the output of `kbdcontrol -d'.
How could I reactivate the function keys?
