Some of these FN-Fxx keys seem handled by the BIOS itself, some seem to rely on userspace programs. I have seen cases where these keypresses seem to have been reported through ACPI. If yours doesn't work under Suse, it likely won't work (out-of-the-box) in Fedora either. But depending on the Video adapter you have, you may be lucky with a user-space tool polling the event. In the worst case you could call a script through a different key-combination defined in your WM. But this is not really Fedora-specific, Suse could also do that.
