Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic
fn key is required on apple keyboards to do common functions (delete, pageup/down, home/end, volume, etc). The apple aluminum keyboard and new macbook3,1 ("Santa Rosa") are both affected.
Attached is a patch from the mactel-linux-devel list by Martin Szulecki <mactel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> that adds the aluminum keyboard. I have modified the patch to include the macbok3,1 keyboard as well as additional keycodes that were present on "powerbook" keyboards (delete, pgup/down, home/end).
This patch has been tested on a macbook 3,1 by myself on an amd64 kernel.
