You must now use "echo 2 > /sys/modules/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode" It also seems to require a different xmodmaprc file. Mine is: <pre> remove mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R keycode 64 = Super_L keycode 133 = Alt_L keycode 134 = Alt_R keycode 108 = Super_R add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R </pre> It seems that under newer kernels (I am using 2.6.28), you need to change the file in /sys that you change.

It also seems to require a different xmodmaprc file. Mine is:

remove mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
keycode 64 = Super_L
keycode 133 = Alt_L
keycode 134 = Alt_R
keycode 108 = Super_R
add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
