I've been using an apple keyboard for a while now, and I've quite liked the feel of it. The only difficulty was that the fn-key does the opposite of what it typically does on PC keyboards, allowing the f1-f9 keys to be used, rather than raising the volume or whatnot. The issue and the solution for Ubuntu
are described here.
Working on the assumption that Mint was close enough to Ubuntu for it to work, I ran through that procedure, only to have my keyboard stop working when I rebooted. So I'm assuming that this is
not the solution for Mint, and am wondering what is.
EDIT: As a temporary solution, the command listed on the above page did work:
Code: Select all
$ echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
This resets when the system is rebooted, however, and would like to find a permanent solution.
