I am getting (what appear to be increasing occurrences of) erroneous key presses that do not match the key used on the laptop keyboard. I put a ticket in as I believe it may be hardware; however, I have been wrong many times in the past so wanted to see if anyone had run into this here and has solutions or thoughts.
OS: Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition)
Kernel: 6.8.8-300.fc40.x86_64
DE: GNOME 46.1 (w/ pop_shell)
BIOS updated during DIY assembly.
Expected behaviour: ‘fn’ down outputs nothing, ‘c’ down outputs ‘c’
Current behaviour: ‘fn’ down outputs ‘q’, ‘c’ down outputs ‘c+’
Gnome detects the above key presses as pressing the key they output (eg. on keyboard map, pressing ‘fn’ shows a ‘q’ press in Gnome).
Issue previously went away after reboot appeared; now it is persisting. The issue is not present when using external keyboard, leading me to believe it may be hardware, as that keymap issues (ie. I initially wondered about pop_shell) should be present on both I believe.
Anyone run into this before? Haven’t encountered this on Linux, Framework or not, so new one to me! The real kicker is ‘e’ is read as RETURN…
