hello,
is there any way, that I can change the way the fn key works?
I use the function keys much more often then I adjust the brightness or the volume.

It would be really cool, if I could reverse the way it works, so that I have to press the fn key only when I want to use Brightness, Volume or Num.

Anybody got a clue ?

Oh, and I'm running OS X.

TIA

Try booting up OS 9 (not Classic), then open the Keyboard Control Panel and change the behavior there. The changes will be respected when you reboot to OS X. This worked under 10.1, but I haven't tried it under 10.2.
