I have found that editing /etc/default/grub with SU permissions and adding the line

"acpi_osi=Linux" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT so that it will look like
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"

save and sudo update-grub
and all of the function keys, including the hardware touchpad toggle button (above the esc key) work.
