Comment 0 for bug 730629

The Fn key does not work on the recently released MacBook Pro 8,3. This is NOT the often reported problem where the key functions are reversed. The Fn key does nothing at all in this case.

Have tried using "options usbhid quirks=0x05ac:0x0245:0x00000800" in /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf based on previous issues with MacBook Pro keyboard without success.
