[Bug 201887] Re: Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly..
Actually I think you will find that the function keys (F1, F2 etc.)
would work in the default way (without holding the <fn> key) if you
plugged the keyboard into Windows. And it also worked this way in the
last Ubuntu release (7.10) by default. Holding down the <fn> key
modifier to get the function keys to work seems to be an OS X only
thing.

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.
