Title:
  Apple Magic Keyboard A1644 fn key does not work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I recently purchased an Apple Magic Keyboard model #A1644 (the newest
  model).  Sadly, the fn key seems to be completely nonfunctional.  In
  other words, I cannot hold down fn+left arrow and get the equivalent
  of the Home key, etc.  It just ignores the fn key and behaves like a
  left arrow key.

  I am on Ubuntu 14.04.  version_signature output is:

  Ubuntu 3.13.0-37.64-generic 3.13.11.7

  Output from running hidd is:

  04:69:F8:D5:46:48 Magic Keyboard [004c:0267] connected

  FYI,  my function keys (F1-F12) work perfectly fine and are not
  mapping to media keys by default, but I had tried all the suggestions
  on the Ubuntu wiki anyway
  (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard, "Change Function Key
  behavior").  Still no go.  I suspect this is a kernel issue, since
  there was a bug report several years ago for back then's latest Apple
  wireless keyboard that had the same issue, and the kernel just needed
  a patch for the new device ID.  But who knows?

  Thanks in advance.
