When checking a new keyboard our IT technician discovered that f14 and
f15 keys raise and lower the monitor brightness! This feature is not
useful in our student lab with profiled monitors and I need to disable
it. How do I disable this feature?>
This feature is built in to the OS and can't be readily disabled...at
least not without some nasty hacking. An easy method might be to post
warning labels or pry off the buttons ;-). Maybe you could get Apple USB
keyboards that only have function keys up to F-12? Fortunately, this
feature doesn't seem to function with the newer Cinema Displays, though
the side buttons are just as easily bumped when accessing the power
button...maybe more so.
