Sometime between 12.04 and 13.10 the device ID was added to the kernel
sources, so I no longer experience this bug. Since 11.10 has passed EOL,
and I'm no longer using 12.04 through 13.04 (so not interested if it's
fixed in those versions), I've marked this Invalid.

Title:
'fn' key not functional on Apple wireless keyboard
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have a brand-new wireless Apple wireless keyboard, connected using
Bluetooth.
Some of the f-keys on this keyboard apparently have additional functions:
F1: decrease brightness
F2: increase brightness
F3: ?
F4: ?
F7: previous track
F8: play/pause
F9: next track
F10: mute
F11: decrease volume
F12: increase volume
In addition, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard indicates
that Insert, Delete, PageUp, PageDown, Home and End should be
available through using 'fn' with other keys.
None of these appear to work. Pressing 'fn' with any other key is
identical to pressing that key on its own. Using 'xev' confirms this.
I also notice that the kernel module hid_apple is not loaded when my
keyboard is connected.
There seem to be other bug reports (e.g. bug #227501, bug #499013)
which report new versions of Apple peripherals having new device IDs,
which prevent Ubuntu from configuring them properly when they are
connected. In some cases the fix seems to be a custom kernel (!) or
kernel patch. I don't know if this is the issue here. Please let me
know what additional information or testing I can provide to help fix
this bug.
