The workaround from F1 to F7 is simply handing off the mouse control to the operating system. It is an OEM EFI CSM SMM problem as I noted before, not a linux lite kernel problem. On some ASUS boards F1 is enough, as it initiates the handoff. If you can bring up a shell in EFI you can change the bin in the SMM, but that depends on your hardware version. Samsung is the most common offender with this issue. Check your OEM for version modifications, and RHEL. I haven't looked for the RHEL solutions for a while but I bet there is one. You will probably have to enable RPM functions in synaptic to use and compile the RHEL file, which is probably by the way OEM hardware specific. If you want to be careful adding RPM functions to synaptic use Alien to convert them to Deb, or a Porteus convert to Deb app.
