Title:
  Fn-key setting reset after resume of Thinkpad Edge E220S

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Some background information:
  The Thinkpad Edge E220S has one of those ridiculous keyboard designs that inverts the behaviour of the Fn key with the top row of the keyboard (F1-F12), i.e. to get an actual F1 keystroke, you need to hold down the F1 key. This behaviour is configurable in the BIOS. In my case, I have configured it so that I need to hold the Fn key to access the special functions, but not for the actual F1-12 keypresses.

  Problem:
  After a resume from suspend-to-RAM, the behaviour of the keyboard reverts to the factory setting, i.e. Fn key required to be held down to get the F1-12 keypresses. I reckon this is either due to a broken BIOS or perhaps something that wasn't done to restore the correct behaviour after resume. 

  Workaround:
  Hibernate the machine and resume.
