Public bug reported: Apple sells a new make of the "Apple Wireless Keyboard" (starting in November 2009). This model can be recognized that it has only two batteries. The device IDs changed, so the Apple HID driver does not recognize it. I've added the new ID to a local copy of the current kernel in karmic and compiled it. Additionally, I added the module to /etc/modules so that it is loaded at boot time. Loading this module later did not work for me.
The device ID for the European model (ISO) is: 0x023a. The ANSI device ID should be 0x0239 (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/227501/comments/21). The device ID for the JIS version could probably be 0x023b, assuming apple follows the scheme of previous makes. I'll post a diff later (have to clean up my changes first), but basically I did what Andrei Andreyanau described in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/227501/comments/22 I checked the source of the latest kernel version on kernel.org and they all do not have this additional IDs in the source files, so please also push the changes upstream. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- New "Apple Wireless Keyboard" (2009) not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
