Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Created /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf as:
options hid_apple swap_opt_cmd=1 swap_fn_leftctrl=1
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
modprobe hid_apple
* What was the outcome of this action?
This will load the module and while the desired options have the
correct values, they do not actually swap the keys.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That the hid_apple module would load and they keys would be swapped.
