[Bug 162083] Re: macbook3, 1 and apple aluminum keyboards fn key does not work
this seems to have caused a regression that messes up the numlock/fn
keys, and (in my case at least) the F1/F2/F3/F* keys too. See bug
#201887.
Any thoughts?

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.
