Someone updated the community docs to state that pommed now works. I installed it and does work, but there are some differences. #1) The option to swap the default Fn behavior becomes disabled and the suggested configuration for pommed doesn't appear to work. #2) pommed appears to have the keyboard active at the gdm login, which is pretty nice. #3 The keyboard doesn't stay on. It has some type of timeout like I would expect under battery power save. Except that I'm on A/C. Which brings a question. I saw a reference to a "Keyboard" tab under gnome power manager. Do other see this or is that for another models keyboard?
