Seeking feedback for this patch which adds support for the "fn" key on the new macbook (3,1) and apple aluminum keyboard. I have tested this with kernel 2.6.23 (both 2.6.23.9 and 2.6.23.15) under Fedora 8 and it seems to work for me. The original patch was created by Martin Szulecki (of mactel-linux) and Chris Irwin. I can't take any credit - I've just found that it works and would like to see it tested and committed upstream if possible. I am linking to the patch because a) its quite long, and b) I am not sure how to prevent thunderbird from wrapping the lines and I'd hate to annoy the list with some malformed garbage. Patch is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=294650 Regards Chris
