(The key that indicates a brighter screen makes it dimmer, and vice versa.)

But that’s okay, because I think they should be switched anyway. :-)

Mine don’t work either and neither do my speaker volume or mute keys.

Anyway ‘su’ is a bad idea. I home some day Fedora will move change it’s ideology from ‘su’ to ‘sudo’.
