OK, thanks for the information. So two entries with these vedors IDs will
be needed for hid_quirks[] table, so that HID layer knows that this is a
powerbook-compatible keyboard.

We can't just change powerbook_fn_keys[], as that would break other
models. These models might possibly need a different table.
As you are obviously able to do C coding, do you think you could prepare
fully working and tested patch and send it to me?
