Every time I do a reinstall on a Mac I end up searching for how to fix this, then I end up on this post. Thanks for saving my sanity time and again.

Finally! A solution for the accursed Fn+F# key issue. Mac users touching an iSeries have lots of problems with this…

Still works in late 2015 on Ubuntu 15.10 on a MBP.

Thanks, very helpful! To make it permanent, create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/apple.conf and put the line “options hid_apple fnmode=2” into it.
