[Ubuntu 17.10] dkms didn't work, but build/install scripts did #45

FYI, installation via dkms did not work for me (modinfo hid_apple | grep parm returned just the three standard options, not the full six of your module) on my mid-2015 MBP. I tried first from wayland, then from xorg, just for kicks, with the same result. But then I tried your build/install scripts, and boom, it works in all the places! Thank you so much for your work on this project; you get special angel points.

Thank you Derek for information about Ubuntu 17.10 and thanks for good words. I'll take a look when I have time. Glad that at least one way of module installation worked for you.

Worked for me too on 17.10 with a1502.

@bradlishman worked for you via dkms or build/install script?

bradlishman commented 6 years ago

@free5lot via the build/install script.

Same here on Ubuntu 17.10 running XOrg. The dkms instructions didn't work for swapping Fn and Ctrl (it did work for the other keys). The build/install script worked for all the keys!

@FastThenLeft were you able to ever swap teh Fn and Ctrl key?

Closing this issue as there are no complains currently about installation of patched module. Also I tested dkms way recently on Ubuntu myself and it works fine.
