[Bug 231920] Re: [Intrepid Alpha 2+] fn key does not work properly on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates. If you could test the
current Ubuntu development version, this would help us a lot. If you can
test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could
upload updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #>, and any other
logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

I've confirmed that this is not a problem on a MacBook 1,1 using the
kernel Linux Macintel 2.6.31-20-generic

Bug description:
Fn key does not work on macbook air, i've seen something similar with macbook pro 4.1 on launchpad, but as said on that bug list, the keyboard device id is not the same, so their patch/solution cannot work for me.

i suppose the solution is similar 

the lsusb -v gives me this device for my keyboard:

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 05ac:820a Apple Computer, Inc.


also, i don't know if important but i've installed pommed 1.16 from ppa's mactel packages, and it does not mention macbook air, then i tried pommed 1.17 from debian etch and it mention macbook air. the two packages doesn't work for me, but maybe there is something to look there as on svn there are versions to 1.19


EDIT: debian sid package is now 1.18, but still not working.
