Hello,
I’m trying to install Manjaro on a 12-inch MacBook (MacBook Retina, 12-inch, 2017). Everything’s working fine, except for one issue: by default, the function keys are acting as media keys instead of F1-F12.
I tried to fix it by installing the package hid-apple-patched-dkms-git. I followed the instructions exactly as outlined here in wiki, installed the Linux headers, then installed hid-apple-patched-dkms-git. After installation, the hid_apple module wasn’t loading. When I ran lsmod, only mac_hid was listed, so I blacklisted mac_hid and manually forced hid_apple to load.
Since then, everything seems to be as it should and as described in the wiki. I went through the whole process described in the wiki under section 8.1, including the troubleshooting in section 8.1.1, and everything matches what’s outlined there. lsmod shows hid_apple, and cat /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode returns 2. But the function keys are still behaving as media keys instead of F1-F12.
I tried it on both XFCE and KDE, but the result is the same on both.
Does anyone have any ideas where the issue might be or what else I could try?
