Package: powerpc-utils
Version: 1.1.3-22
Severity: normal

Recent kernels seemed to have changed the behaviour of the fn keys. I
recently upgraded from 2.6.4.19 to 2.6.4.24 and now the F-keys have
their hot key behaviour by default and the "normal" behaviour only if
fn is pressed, which is quite annoying. (I tried 2.6.22 from Lenny
which exhibited the same behaviour). I did not find a kernel option to
revert this but found fnkeys which should be able to change, but:

twotofive:~# fnset -u
unknown PMU version 17

twotofive:~# fnset -v -d -u
writing 2 bytes: { 0x06 0xea }
read 2 bytes: { 0x00 0x11 }
unknown PMU version 17
