Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the numlock key
After upgrading to the newest kernel here is what I found. Pressing a

anymore. The issue now is that the number pad is behaving like a
directional pad. Pressing the clear button at the top of the number pad
turns on the number
The numpad behavior is consistant with most other PC keyboards. I
believe this is the desired functionality. The clear button is in the
place of most keyboard's numlock keys.
Your other issue should likely go to a different location unless this

I'm afraid that I must disagree with your assessment. There is no way on
earth that I can justify the number pad working as a directional pad by
default when there are no arrows marked on the keys and no visible number

I am not trying to say what is right and what is wrong, just trying to
explain why it functions as it does.
