Powerbook and new, thin keyboard Question.

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
I have a Powerbook and today I bought Apple's new keyboard so I can work without being so close to my screen. My question is.. how do I map the keys of my new keyboard to do the same functions as my powerbook keyboard?



On my powerbook, F1 and F2 are brightness controls, and F3, F4, and F5 control the volume. I'm very used to these settings and would like to have these on the new keyboard. But my function buttons won't do anything on the new keyboard, even when I'm pressing the 'fn' button.



Any ideas?

    Have you installed the keyboard driver?



    It's a class bit of Apple bloatware at 35.2MB:
