All the keys on this keyboard work correctly except for the "Clear" key.
Someone should make the "Clear" key be the key for "Numlock".

That's all that needs fixed.

The "fn" key is set up right now exactly how it's supposed to be on this
keyboard.  I understand it can be a pain to type (ctl + shift + fn + f2)
but it's not impossible, nor is it something someone should be pressing
all the time.

Right now, I can use the volume up/down/mute,
forward/backward/pause/play keys without the fn key pressed.  I like
this way because I use those keys a lot more than I use the
terminal/console key combination.

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.
