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:
