   5  The kernel default value for usbhid.pb_fnmode is 1, which means that pressing
   6  the Fn keys (F1..F10) without the fn key triggers the special functions
   7  decrease/increase brightness, mute, decrease/increase volume, etc., which is
   8  the default under MacOS.
   9
  10  At least under 10.2 Beta2, only the volume related special functions work at
  11  all. In addition, Ctrl-Alt-Fx is used to switch between consoles. with
  12  pb_fnmode==1, the fn key needs to be pressed in addition.
  13
  14  Therefore, pb_fnmode==2 (F1..F10 by default trigger Fn rather than the special
  15  functions) makes more sense under Linux.
