I have a Dell Precision 5520 laptop (basically an XPS 15). The

Something has changed in the last week or two, and the keys no longer
have any effect (except that the brightness increase key now toggles
the maximized state of terminal windows).
Anyone else seen this recently?
Assuming no, anyone have any hints on how to debug this? I'm not
really
sure how these function keys work (i.e. are they keypresses, ACPI
events, something else?).
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
I think something like this happened to my Thinpad also during last
weeks, but after some time, it started to work again. Did you try to
reboot?
