The problem is still there for my Aluminium Wireless keyboard...

If I in:

linux-2.6.24/net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c

changes

        { 0x05ac, 0x022c, HID_QUIRK_APPLE_HAS_FN },

to

        { 0x05ac, 0x022d, HID_QUIRK_APPLE_HAS_FN },

Then it works...

there are probably different versions of the keyboard out there... isn't
possible to include both???

By the way, can anyone tell me why:

apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic

fetches the 2.6.24-16 kernel???.... Output:

falcon ~ # apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic

Sry... it is in Danish... but you'll get the idea.. it fetches version
2.6.24-16 instead of 2.6.24-17...

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic

fn key is required on apple keyboards to do common functions (delete, pageup/down, home/end, volume, etc). The apple aluminum keyboard and new macbook3,1 ("Santa Rosa") are both affected.

Attached is a patch from the mactel-linux-devel list by Martin Szulecki <mactel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> that adds the aluminum keyboard. I have modified the patch to include the macbok3,1 keyboard as well as additional keycodes that were present on "powerbook" keyboards (delete, pgup/down, home/end).

This patch has been tested on a macbook 3,1 by myself on an amd64 kernel.
