recently I bought a nice lenovo thinkpad E14 (with AMD). Installation of Manjaro MATE went pretty flawless and everything is running pretty smoothly. However the fn keys are not working as expected:
working:
fn + space is controling keyboard backlight fn + Esc is enabling FnLock, although the status LED is not enabled/disabled not working
all fn keys from F1 to F12 have no effect When trying to edit a shortcut (e.g. volume up) in MATE keyboard shortcuts it is immediately set to "Wake up" when pressing the fn key (it is handled as an usual button).
I would really appreciate when owners of an E14 could let me know when they solved the issue or any other general help.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: fn-keys are working after suspend
