The kernel default value for usbhid.pb_fnmode is 1, which means that pressing
|
|
|
|
|
the Fn keys (F1..F10) without the fn key triggers the special functions
|
|
|
|
|
decrease/increase brightness, mute, decrease/increase volume, etc., which is
|
|
|
|
|
the default under MacOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At least under 10.2 Beta2, only the volume related special functions work at
|
|
|
|
|
all. In addition, Ctrl-Alt-Fx is used to switch between consoles. with
|
|
|
|
|
pb_fnmode==1, the fn key needs to be pressed in addition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, pb_fnmode==2 (F1..F10 by default trigger Fn rather than the special
|
|
|
|
|
functions) makes more sense under Linux.
