           Summary: Fn-key patch outdated for kernels 2.6.12-rc4 and later.
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: powerpc
               URL: http://lists.debian.org/debian-

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: ben.collins at ubuntu.com

The Fn-key patch external-drivers-usb-input-powerbook-fn-quirk.dpatch for the
Apple PowerBook is outdated and doesn't work for kernels 2.6.12-rc4 and later. I
made a post about this on the debian-powerpc mailinglist
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/06/msg00125.html) in June. After
some testing, Stelian Pop got it working and posted a working patch
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/07/msg00370.html).

I have made a dpatch out of Stelians patch and applied it to
linux-source-2.6.12. After building and installing, the Fn-key now works
perfectly. The current external-drivers-usb-input-powerbook-fn-quirk.dpatch
should be replaced by my attached one,
external-drivers-usb-input-powerbook-fn-quirk-2.6.12.dpatch.

Thank you,
Johannes H. Jensen
