I have a new 13th Gen Intel framework with a keyboard from the 12th. After suspend/resume cycles, the fn modifier sometimes doesn’t work, breaking e.g. Page Up/Down. Has anyone else seen issues like that?
Welcome to the forums, may we know what Linux distribution you’ve currently installed in your framework laptop?
also would you know the average suspend/resume cycle till symptoms show?
thanks
I’m using OpenSuSE Tumbleweed. I can’t say anything yet about the frequency. It has happened often enough to reach out and see if someone else has such a problem, but rare enough that it took a month to notice and isolate the condition somewhat. The keyboard module itself is a bit over a year old.
The suggestion to fix this over at [TRACKING] Fn key stops working on PopOS after a while - #36 by Mapleleaf is to blacklist the cros_ec_lpcs
module, i.e.:
echo "blacklist cros_ec_lpcs" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/no_cros_ec.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
and then reboot. This is working for me - at least, I was hitting this semi-frequently on Debian Sid and haven’t hit it again since doing this a few weeks ago.
