[Bug 913601] Re: 'fn' key not functional on Apple wireless keyboard
Paul Kishimoto, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>
Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12
This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
'fn' key not functional on Apple wireless keyboard
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have a brand-new wireless Apple wireless keyboard, connected using
Bluetooth.
Some of the f-keys on this keyboard apparently have additional functions:
F1: decrease brightness
F2: increase brightness
F3: ?
F4: ?
F7: previous track
F8: play/pause
F9: next track
F10: mute
F11: decrease volume
F12: increase volume
In addition, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard indicates
that Insert, Delete, PageUp, PageDown, Home and End should be
available through using 'fn' with other keys.
None of these appear to work. Pressing 'fn' with any other key is
identical to pressing that key on its own. Using 'xev' confirms this.
I also notice that the kernel module hid_apple is not loaded when my
keyboard is connected.
There seem to be other bug reports (e.g. bug #227501, bug #499013)
which report new versions of Apple peripherals having new device IDs,
which prevent Ubuntu from configuring them properly when they are
connected. In some cases the fix seems to be a custom kernel (!) or
kernel patch. I don't know if this is the issue here. Please let me
know what additional information or testing I can provide to help fix
this bug.
