For the Lenovo e431, how do you keep the function key locked?
Right now pressing F1-F12 activates the multimedia controls by default. To get to the standard F1-F12, you have to hold down Fn+the function key. This used to be adjustable in the BIOS, but for this laptop model, it no longer is available.
You can press Fn+esc, and it locks it for that session, but when the computer reboots, this is reset back to the default.
Is there a way so that the default is not the multimedia function keys, but just the standard, legacy function keys?

'Fn + Esc' Should lock it, but you'll need bios version 1.25+ to keep this config after reboot, since it had an issue fixed on 1.25:

Btw you can also switch Fn and Left Ctrl on BIOS :)
