           Summary: Apple Aluminium keyboards needs not to use the numlock
                    emulation
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.25
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Input Devices
        AssignedTo: drivers_input-devices at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: flameeyes at gmail.com


Latest working kernel version: 2.6.24
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.25
Distribution: Gentoo Linux
Hardware Environment: Apple Aluminium Keyboard
Software Environment: N/A
Problem Description: Since 2.6.25 added support for Apple Aluminium keyboards,
I've enabled it, but the quirks enabled are the same as Apple laptops'
keyboards, which means they have numlock software emulation. This software
emulation is not useful at all for Aluminium keyboards, and actually makes them
unusable once Numlock is enabled.

Steps to reproduce: Enable Apple keyboard support in kernel 2.6.25, connect an
Apple Aluminium keyboard and enable numlock.

I'm going to attach a patch that splits out the numlock emulation quirk, so
that it's only enabled if requested, and requests it for all the models beside
the Aluminium (so that the previous behaviour is maintained for all of them).

HTH,
Diego Pettenò
