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. -- macbook3,1 and apple aluminum keyboards fn key does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162083 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support.

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 <[email protected]> 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. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
