Heh, that's what happens when you buy brand new model :) Hopefully, A
friend of mine here ordered one, so I'll be able to fix most of the
stuff soon.

That should be fairly easy to fix hopefully.

Yes. I think Vojtech will do a minimum fix soon as soon as he gets
access to the HW (should happen next week I think). Later on, I'll try
to figure out the "gesture" thing and other fancy stuff, at least once I
have some physical access to my friend's box (read: when Apple
delivers).

Interesting. Probably the new USB keyboard requires software handling of
the Fn key... That would suck tho, unless we hide something in the
driver.

That should be fairly simple to fix as well.

Does sleep works ? If not, I expect it not to be too difficult to fix
either...
