Bug ID: 2025224
Summary: extra keys on Lenovo / IBM keyboard are not working
anymore
Product: Fedora
Version: 34
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: xkeyboard-config
Severity: low
Assignee: peter.hutterer(a)redhat.com

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
The extra keys "Lock Desktop", "My Documents", "Calculator",
"E-Mail",
"Internet" in the top row of a Lonovo or IBM keyboard (such a thing:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd010250-lenovo-enhanced-perfo...)
do not work anymore. The keys "Work Processor" and "Spreadsheet" never
did.
However. It is convenient to just press such a button and i wonder, why this
functionality has been broken with Fedora 34 or one of the "updates". Even the
blue button was usable for something, now it is not anymore.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.33 . Not sure, if the issue has really to do with the keyboard configuration.
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press one of the buttons in the top row
Actual results:
nothing happens. The keys are not visible anymore in the output of xmodmap -pk
Expected results:
The respective action is performed
Additional info:
It was working for years, actually i can't remember, that it did not work since
i use such keyboards with Linux.
xev does not show any of these key presses or releases.
It happens with both gnome and plasma and it does not matter, whether Xorg or
@$%&* wayland is running, thus i assume, the issue is in one of the plethora of
lower layers.
