[SOLVED] hid_apple keyboard parameters don't persist

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the keyboard settings on my MacBook Pro mid-2013. I'm trying to set the fnmode to 2, so that the function keys will behave the way their creators intended, and I also need to set the iso_layout to 0, so that the ~ will appear in its correct location next to the shift button. I have sudo vim'ed the relevant files in /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters, as described in the wiki, but the changes don't survive a reboot of the computer. How can I make the changes persistent?

Thanks in advance for any help!

K

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Sorted!
I put these two lines into /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple:
options hid_apple iso_layout=0
options hid_apple fnmode=2

Thank you both,
