Hi I have a problem with my new USB Lenovo keyboard, I can't (don't know how) switch Fn keys in Linux, on windows it was very easy.

But I don't know what I can do on Linux to switch Fn keys (or disable), do you know any solution? I need standard functions of F1 through F12...

I found a software solution.

clone the following program from github:

git clone 

compile to following program:

cd tp-compact-keyboard/tp-compact-usb-keyboard
make
sudo ./tp-compact-usb-keyboard /dev/hidraw1

Maybe some errors are shown when you execute the program.

This program sent 2 keystrokes to the keyboard (0x05 and 0x01).

i think, you can't press them physically:

They are mapped to special keys.

this is only a temporary solution - after a reboot this settings are gone.

maybe you create a cronjob to fix it permanently:
