Bug#307327: kernel-source-2.6.11: [powerpc] fn-key does not work on new powerbooks

[Jochen Voss <voss@debian.org>]

Package: kernel-source-2.6.11
Severity: normal

Hello,

with release 2.6.11-1 of kernel-image-2.6.11-powerpc the fn-key does
not work on post-February-2005 powerbooks.  It does neither emit a
scan code on its own, nor does it change the behaviour of other keys.

The problem can be fixed with the Johannes Berg's patch from
http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/PowerBook/special_buttons .

Kernel specific information about my machine (dmesg output etc.) can
be found at http://seehuhn.de/comp/powerbook/2.6.11-1/ , general
information (about hardware, etc) is at
http://seehuhn.de/comp/powerbook/ .

I hope this helps,
Jochen
