https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220266 Summary: Default value of usbhid.pb_fnmode module parameter Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: olh@novell.com ReportedBy: agruen@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de 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. Can this please be changed, either in the kernel, or in modprobe.conf (options usbhid pb_fnmode=2)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
