I have a macbook pro with ArchLinux installed. I've read the Wiki Article about Apple Keyboard, and put the following in /etc/modprobe.d/apple_keyboard.conf:
options hid_apple fnmode=2 isolayout=0 swap_opt_cmd=1All these options apply to the internal keyboard of my macbook, but it seems like fnmode is the only one working with my external bluetooth keyboard, but the opt and cmd key are not swaped and neither the iso layout is used (most annoying is the fact the < and ^ are swaped).
I have also already tried to repair the keyboard without any success. What am I missing? What do I have to do to apply these settings also to my bluetooth apple keyboard?

I have already found out that after connecting the keyboard executing `dmesg` shows which driver is used. The message being shown after connecting the bluetooth keyboard is the following:
[56929.073859] hid-generic 0005:004C:026C.000B: unknown main item tag 0x0
[56929.073921] input: Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-8/1-8.3/1-8.3:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:11/0005:004C:026C.000B/input/input24
[56929.074084] hid-generic 0005:004C:026C.000B: input,hidraw2: BLUETOOTH HID v0.80 Keyboard [Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad] on 34:36:3b:ca:dd:71It seems to me as if the magic keyboard is used with the `hid-generic` driver instead of `hid-apple`, that would explain why the above options don't work. Isn't there any way to tell the system to use that specific keyboard with `hid-apple` instead?

I have tried now to solve this by remapping the scancodes on my own as described in this article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … o_keycodes
First I've used evemu-describe to get information about the keyboard:

A: 28 0 255 0 0 0Based on this I added the following line to the new file /etc/udev/hwdb.d/magickeyboard.hwdb
evdev:input:b0005v004cp026Ce0080-*
KEYBOARD_KEY_29=102nd
KEYBOARD_KEY_56=graveAfterwards I tried to execute the following commands, and as I understand the wiki the keyboard layout should be updated then:
daniel@macbook ~ $ sudo systemd-hwdb update
daniel@macbook ~ $ sudo udevadm triggerBut the keys are still not swapped. Any idea what's going wrong here?

bump,
I was able to make my fn button work, but hid_generic is used when you connect your keyboard through bluetooth, it's ok when it's connected via usb,
I found patch that was made for another distribuive, can we have some solution for this, the reason is that media keys doesn't send any scancodes, so I can't map scancode to key code & key syms.
