I can confirm problems these problems as well. I have a wired USB white
Apple keyboard with danish layout. Allthough to me it seems like to
seperate issues:

1. When upgrading kernel from 2.6.24-11.17 to  2.6.24-12.22 all F-keys
stopped working except 'F5' and 'F6'. Other characters are swapped as
well (e.g. '½' and '§' has been swapped with '<' and '>'). Based on the
discussion above i can now make the F-keys temporarily work again by
pressing and holding the 'fn' key.

2. When pressing the "crossed rectangle" key above '7' on the numeric
keypad (is it the 'clear' og 'num-lock' key??) the letters and numeric
keypad no longer work correctly. Instead some of the letters behave as a
virtual numeric keypad as for a laptop keyboard without a numeric
keypad. A fix is to press the 'F6' key twice to get the keyboard back to
normal mode. Apparently 'F6' behaves as 'num-lock' in this mode.

After spending several hours with this problem before realizing it was
related to the kernel-update, I went to search the bug database. It
seems to me it is likely to be caused by the "fix" introduced in bug
#162083. The keyboard worked fine before, so this is very annoying.
