[SOLVED]Disable Function Lock on Boot

After my third time of installing Arch on my laptop, things seem to be going relatively well. However, I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts to combinations using the F keys (i.e. F1-12), but function lock is always on at boot, so to use the standard F keys I need to hold the Fn button. Is there a way to disable this on boot, or at least when Xorg is launched as I don't have a WM or DE set to launch on boot.

Re: [SOLVED]Disable Function Lock on Boot

Some Bios have options to disable media keys while others have combinations to deactivate it like pressing FN and Numlock

I would check that first...
