This issue has been solved for me. Despite not having loaded Windows in months, somehow the Alienware FX settings changed while in Linux. I have no idea how as I do next to nothing with the Windows partition.
When I booted to Linux today, a lighted zone that has been shut off for (2? 3 years?) lit up. Lacking the controls in Linux to turn the FX on or off, I booted to Windows, launched the Alienware FX configuration and presto the zone turned off. Upon booting back into Linux the FN+ F5 & F6 buttons were working normally. CTRL+ALT+F2 still doesn't work (blank screen) but... can't have everything. Seems unlikely, but I hope this helps someone else. (And here I was, ready to blame Nvidia. Eh, seemed reasonable.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267368 Title: FN+F5 - F6 not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1267368/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
