Hey everyone, I'm just saying..

You bought this exact keyboard and this is how this one keyboard is made
to work. lol

I'm not saying it has to be that way, but it is the original way for
this exact keyboard, and you bought it that way.  The thing even works
this way on a mac, I know cos my friend has one.  It was made for multi-
media before function keys.  Maybe Linux has a bad/old way of using
keystrokes?

Or maybe Mac is just weird.

Either way...  Neither way is wrong I guess.

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.
