larrycz, I think the problem was that the External Apple Keyboards were
being mistakenly identified as the built-in keyboards on MacBook Pros
(which have a psuedo-numberpad on the main keys when numlock is turned
on). As far as I know this has been fixed in Intrepid. Can you test it
there?

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.
