I suspect the reason that you did not get attention is a rather lengthy
email without a clear issue that needs addressing. We're not going to
walk you through installing Arch, there's several Wiki articles that do
a fantastic job of guiding you though it.

This is the type of thing that warrants investigation. The Fn key on its
own will not send a scancode, however Fn+<key> should. You can
investigate the incoming scancodes with the "xev" tool. There is also a
wiki page <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys>
that might be of help.

I suspect that may have to do with whatever power manager you use.

Just asking for opinions won't really get much. When you come to a
mailing list with questions, make sure they're specific. (I'm not trying
to be rude, just articulating the general sentiments of many mailing
list communities).
