That would be this line in /etc/sysctl.conf: dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1 or, in the running system, echo 1 >/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes If this doesn't fix it, see whether the above command gives an error (you'd need to do tat logged-in remote, though..), and report that back.
