Hi all,

Is there a way to swap the bahviour of the function keys on a 12" G4 iBook?

I mean press Fn+F1 to reduce brightness instead of just F1 and so forth. I read somewhere that this must be possible with Powerbooks, I was wondering if that is the case with iBooks as well.

Many thanks in advance,
_nmk

You'll be wanting to install uControl, a preference pane that gives you precisely that option.

Thanks, it works as advertised, despite the warning that it only works on Powerbooks.
