[Bug 162083] Re: macbook3, 1 and apple aluminum keyboards fn key does not work
UPDATE: A newly purchased (11/12/09) Apple Blueetooth Keyboard is having
the same problem on kernel 2.6.30.9!
I guess they have changed the hex id (from 022d to 0239) of the
keyboard, so the patch doesn't know to enable the FN key on this
keyboard?
$ hidd --show
60:FB:42:00:5A:CD Apple Wireless Keyboard [05ac:0239] connected
Other than the FN key being nonexistant, this little Apple keyboard
works just fine and has a better key feel than their older models.

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.
