Re: RFE: Switch usbhid.pb_fnmode to 2 for Macbook Pro users

Hello, It would appear Macbook Pro users need to additionally press the fn key to make F1 - F10 work as expected under Linux. Therefore to switch to a vt they have to perform a wierd kind of hand twister to get it to work as it now requires Ctrl+Alt+Fn+F1. Macbook user Alexey Kuznetsov wrote to me and said: To solve this problem i send echo "2" to /sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode every time on boot. But i this is a good idea to set this feature by default for all fedora 7 users. I solve it by small startup service here is ti: #!/bin/bash # # chkconfig: 12345 90 01 # description: fix apple fn keys . /etc/init.d/functions echo "2">/sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode action "Starting the Mac Function keys fix:" to which I replied: " ... you can also just add: options usbhid pb_fnmode=2 to modprobe.conf and I think: usbhid.pb_fnmode=2 being added to the kernel parameters as well. I will post an RFE to the fedora-kernel list." Is it possible to enable this by default - the green lizards seem to have done so: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220266
