[Bug 911064] Re: Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Fn key not working

 

Jason, 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:
  Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Fn key not working

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The latest Apple Bluetooth Keyboards (purchased in Oct 2011) do not
  have a working Fn key in Ubuntu. This has been reported for the
  Australian sold keyboards
  (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1855975). Not sure if it is
  also a problem in other countries.

   I suspect the device ID has changed. A similar (?)  bug is 227501
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/227501) from
  2009 which was fixed when Apple last changed the Device ID.

  Hidd output for the keyboard is
  40:30:04:10:BF:32 jaseeverett’s keyboard [05ac:0255] connected 

  All other keys seem to work correctly, however since the Fn key
  doesn't work there is no multimedia etc.

  Output of cat /proc/version_signature is: 
  Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.24-generic-pae 3.0.13
