[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly..
There is also a simpler way to fix the numlock issue:
1. make sure, you have xmodmaps installed (this should be by default)
2. create the file ~/.xmodmaps
3. paste the following into the file:
keycode 79 = 7
keycode 80 = 8
keycode 81 = 9
keycode 83 = 4
keycode 84 = 5
keycode 85 = 6
keycode 87 = 1
keycode 88 = 2
keycode 89 = 3
keycode 90 = 0
keycode 91 = period
keycode 82 = minus
keycode 86 = plus
keycode 157 = equal
keycode 77 = F20
the last line remaps the clear (=numlock) key to behave as F20 instead.

Bug description:
I have the new Slim USB Apple Keyboard and in Hardy Heron (Beta) 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.
