Linux 6.17 Will Correctly Map By Default F13 To F24 Keys On PS/2 Keyboards


It has taken until 2025 for the AT/PS2 keyboard driver to map F13 through F24 function keys by default

Werner Sembach with TUXEDO Computers took care of the ATKBD driver patch so that PS/2 keyboards will see their F13 through F24 function keys where present to be correctly mapped by default. This would also fix the issue that some of these keys can't be mapped as the target from userspace using the `setkeycodes` command." Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
