Media laptop keys not working but works on other distros.
My media keys aren't working (play, pause, forwards, backwards, mute, vol +, vol -, f1-f5 w/fn) and showkey isn't seeing anything and shortcuts neither in Bazzite KDE NVIDIA.
Half the function keys work. Laptop is an ASUS ROG GU501GM. I'm aware Bazzite 43 ceased development in ASUS Laptops. Its just that I have the one unique model that isn't supported by G-Helper nor Armory Crate and somehow Ubuntu and other distros detect the media keys of this device just fine. (They have other different problems though, heh)
There is like only one function key (fan mode) that I have sort of fixed from finding a script and making it an exec by putting it into shortcuts. (Did check if it had anything weird but its pretty clean, have to sudo though.) Hilariously enough, I tried using shortcuts to auto detect the media keys but they aren't being detected at all, so I might be hitting some weird proprietary issue that other distros are able to detect?
Anyhoo, I hope anyone has ideas how to fix this since I tend to increase and decrease volume a lot. Thanks!
