Hm... "cat /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb" output a lot of stuff.
What am I looking at/for here wrt. to my own keyboard?

I have tried evtest and input-events without any success (i.e. no events
on Fn or from the Fx keys that doesn't give anything useful in xev).

Will try input-kbd and lsinput, thanks!

Will read! Thanks again!

Hm... ok.  Could a kernel module change be the cause of what affects my
keyboard? (ie. my recurrent question: is it possible to fix Fn without
entering the BIOS?)
