That default value isn't going to be changed. I already filed a bug  
about it.

You can adjust it at module load time or runtime.

We do however need that patch that differentiates these full size  
keyboards from the laptop and smaller ones.

Bug description:
I have the new Slim USB Apple Keyboard and in Hardy Heron (Alpha 6) when I first boot up the alphabet keys work perfectly, but once I type in the numpad or a number, nothing happens.  After nothing happens I'm not able to use my alpha keys, either..  When I type alphabet keys after trying a number the alphabet keys produce numbers like '4' and '3'..  And many of the keys don't do anything..


I have tried setting the keyboard up as default, and as an Apple keyboard by going to System > Prefs > Keyboard -- but nothing works.

If i then unplug the keyboard to reboot the keys usually work fine until I hit a number key or the keypad again.
