I'm running ibex alpha 3 and the numlock works as I expect.

The only problem I'm having with the keyboard now is the F keys.

In order for me to open the run command I have to press ALT + fn + F2.

I would expect the fn key to enable the extra functions on the keys
rather than enable the F-Keys.

Is there anything in the works to change the way this work or am I going
to be stuck with this?

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.
