Re: Multi cons support has disappeared (on Alder Lake) was: Alt+Fn isn't functional. Has this been removed?

at, by default, the F keys control volume, screen brightness, and many other things. I can use Fn+F[1-12] to perform traditional function key functions. I found that bios has an option to make the traditional functions the default which is how I am running today and have since shortly after I purchased the computer. One I set that BIOS option, everything worked "properly". I now use Fn+F[1-12] to adjust volume and screen brightness. I hope to get mute to work, but I need to figure out which event is set when Fn+F1 is pressed to write trivial devd support for it. BTW, if you have not found it, Fn+K is screen lock.
