Reverse function keys (Macbook)

English Hardware
1

Hi to all!
I have installed openSUSE 13.2 on my Macbook Pro 8.1 and everything works fine, but I want to change the behaviour of the funcion keys. The default behaviour of them on Os X is to have the “multimedia option” as the first choice (so pressing f8 stops and plays music) and the “function option” as the second (you have to press the “fn” key to make f8 function as f8). On openSUSE the behaviour is inverted (like the most of laptops models) and I wanted to know if it is possible to reverse it.

I can reverse the behaviour temporaly with one of the following commands:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

echo options hid_apple fnmode=1 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf

Is there a way to make the change permanent?

Thanks in avdance!

Hi
Call the file 50-hid_apple.conf and it should contain;


options hid_apple fnmode=1

Else via YaST bootloader kernel line options you could add before the ‘quiet’ option;


hid_apple.fnmode=1

It works! Thanks very much for your help! :slight_smile:
