Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Hi, I use the Kernel 2.4.16-benh on an Apple Powerbook G3 (Pismo). The Powerbooks have special keys for brightness, volume, mute, etc in parallel to the funcion keys F1 to F6. Per default this special keys are the primary keys and the Function-Keys (together with the Fn-key) build the secondary keys. The Mac-OS 9 has a checkbox in the Function-Key-Dialog to "invert" the Fn-key. Cecked, the Function-Keys are the primary keys and the special keys work together with Fn. Question: Has this function already been implemented in the Kernel? I found something about the Button-Device in the keyboard driver. Is this a feature of the Button-Device? Also interesting is: When I had checked the checkbox under Mac-OS, the setting survived all reboots and also with Linux the F1-F6 keys worked without the Fn-key. But after the machine once awaked from sleep (after reopen the lid or similar) the setting is resetted to default. Has anyone information about this feature?
