x230 keyboard issues #196

Hi ive gone through the various FN + key combos and found some irregularities however not sure if they are fixable or meant to be like that but i thought il make an issue for it atleast.

FN + F2 generates XF86Battery FN + F3 generates XF86ScreenSaver

which is reversed to how the symbols on my 7 row keyboard is. checked with xev on linux.

FN + space, FN + F12 , neither generates an keypress/event.

the rest is seemingly working as intended besides the caps lock led but thats what i understand unfixable.

Hi, I‘m not at all an expert on this in general but for the problem of keys existing but not in the right position / being reversed you can change their .hwdb settings, if that was the problem.

For me disabling keyboard patch worked: make clean

make patch_disable_keyboard make patch_enable_battery

make patched.x230.img

This way I got image that allows to install non Lenovo battery that charges and keyboard works fine.
