Comment 27 for bug 201887

After some digging around i think i finally found the commit where the issue is introduced:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=commitdiff;h=efb3031b446d441dca5b10619503ac0bba7f9748

With regard to the "fn" key problem I would think the following line should be changed to a default value of 2 (if Mario is right)
+++ b/drivers/hid/hid-input.c
+static int hid_apple_fnmode = 1;

With regard to the swapped "½" and "<" key it is seemingly done by purpose by this, since my keyboard is an ISO keyboard:
+++ b/drivers/hid/hid-input.c
+static struct hidinput_key_translation apple_iso_keyboard[] = {
        { KEY_GRAVE, KEY_102ND },
        { KEY_102ND, KEY_GRAVE },
I don't know the reason for this, but it is wrong for my keyboard with danish layout. Does anyone know why this is done?

With regard to the Num-lock problem as far is I can see it is due to laptop and non-laptop keyboards treated equal. Erics patch above should address this.

I am no kernel hacker but would love to try to tinker with the code. Could anyone give me a pointer to how to compile a module as Eric has done above?

Also shouldn't this bug be set to affect "linux (Ubuntu)"?
