Comment 111 for bug 201887

The proposed updates do, indeed, stop the keyboard going into laptop mode when the numlock/clear key is pressed.

It's still sub-optimal, though:
* The function keys only work when 'fn' is held down. The pb_fnmode value change corrects this, but this *should* be the default: without 'fn' held down, the keys can't be mapped to Compiz's scale plugin etc. so they're dead keys.
* Numlock defaults to off, even though the key is not intended to be numlock. Keeping it numlock is OK (since people seem so passionate about it), but it should default to on (as there is no LED indicator for 'clear')
