After following this ttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard to get the functions working as expected on PC you might want to swap the positions of Alt/Cmd keys, create an Insert key and do some other minor modifications to make the layout more similar to PC keyboards.
Find attached an .Xmodmap file correcting those issues. Copy to your home directory to execute automatically on login or call xmodmap with it to activate manually. ** Attachment added: ".Xmodmap" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18007955/.Xmodmap -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the "numlock" key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: In Progress Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux in Ubuntu Hardy: Fix Committed 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. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : mactel-support@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
