Hi Elimar,
sorry, but I don't seem to understand your problem. There are two
situations - either you have hid bultin in kernel, or compiled as a
module. In the first case, you simply modify the kernel boot commandline
to contain a string
hid.pb_fnmode=2
and that's it. In the latter case, you add something like
options hid pb_fnmode=2
into the /etc/modprobe.conf file (or you can use any distro-specific way
to pass parameters to modules, such as /etc/modprobe.d). This is standard
way to do things, and it works also with hid.
I don't think there is a need to have this as a separate kernel
configuration option.
Thanks,
