@Edwin Erdmanis

The fn "problem" is a feature: it mimics the way the keyboard works under OS X. 
For me eject, volume and brightness keys work perfectly. (Hardy on a MacBook)

@Fabrice
The <> @# problem is solved for me in gnome by selecting the appropriate option («Swap keycodes of two keys when Mac keyboards are misdetected by kernel» in the keyboard options menu.
However, the «Numeric keypad keys work as with Mac»  oprion doesn't work for me.

@Ryan Lortie

Just for the record : the /sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode  tric
works, but disables the keypad and the fn functions altogether.

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.
