Comment 107 for bug 201887

Confirmed on Dell OptiPlex 745 PC, 2.6.24-16 (also tried 2.6.24-19), with Apple Slim keyboard.

Solved by pressing F6 twice after each reboot and painting the Num Lock key red so that I never press it again

This is an very annoying and striking issue. I can't help the sarcasm, but I just feel frustrated after months of trying to use the Apple Wireless keyboard -- how long is it going to take before I can get the patched somewhere-between-2.4.26-and-2.4.26 kernel through the usual channels (apt-get) without having to compile the kernel just to use a keyboard with my Ubuntu?
