Hi list:
I've been trying to configure an Apple bluetooth aluminum keyboard
under Debian with latest 2.6.26 stock kernel.
So far the keyboard gets paired and works ok except for the 'fn' key
and the keys tha it helps to emulate (PgUp. PgDwn, multimedia keys,
etc...).
Has anyone managed to get it fully working?
TIA.
A. Corbi

You need a newer kernel, or a fix to your current one wrt the HID
quirks for this keyboard. If memory serves me well, 2.6.27 is OK.

Then I'll wait till 2.6.2[78] enters experimental or unstable...
Thanks for your help.

Thank's Sven, I knew it, it's only that I need linux-kbuild-2.6.27 for
some external modules I need to compile and it seems it's not there.

Hi Julien, list:
Just tried 2.6.27-1~experimental.1~snapshot.12506 from
kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel and I get the _same_
results as with 2.6.26, that is, the 'fn'-key does not work.
Any ideas to try now?
Thank's.

Actually, you want a 2.6.28-rc. The latest one should work, otherwise
you'll need to grab the git tree.

Whats about:
echo "options hid_apple fnmode=2" >> /etc/modprobe.d/options
See drivers/hid/hid-input.c

Is this the same as doing it so?:
in my /etc/rc.local I've this line:
echo 2 > /sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode
And it works ok with a *wired* aluminum apple keyboard.

AFAIR this seems to be << 2.6,26
In newer kernels we have
/sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

That's only in 2.6.28 with the rework of the HID quirks.
