Description:

Apple USB Extended keyboard. This keyboard comes with a pair of USB ports on it for plugging in things like mice or USB keys. This was the extended keyboard that came with Apple G4 machines. I have had no problem using it with an x86 PC as well.

No problems this keyboard just using the generic 104 key option with Ubuntu, Slamd64, Slackware - for both PPC and AMD64 .... however the number pad does not operate with this generic keyboard selection.
Now trying to find the right driver to use the full keyboard keys.

This keyboard was easy to install - plug-and-play easy. I had trouble getting the number pad to work, but that was solved by :
- entering the Control Center in KDE,
- navigating to Peripherals, Keyboard...
- clicking the radio button that indicates how the numlock should act at startup time.
I also found settings to enable me to use the apple commands and shorcuts. I did it by:
- entering the Control Center in KDE,
- navigating to Regional & Accessibility, Keyboard Shorcuts
- switching to the tab titled "Modifier Keys",
- checking both boxes "Macintosh Keyboard" and "MacOS-style modifier usage".
The Mitsumi Extended USB Apple keyboard features I am trying to enable:
- this keyboard is extended, and has many keys that register as deadkeys [F13, F14, F15, F16, volume up, volume down, mute, eject, kana/english switch, kanji]. I want to find out how to activate these keys and assign shorcuts.
- this keyboard is also a USB hub. I would like to make this functional.
- this keyboard is bilingual [Japanese & English.] I am researching to find out how I can achieve direct kana input from this keyboard.

Interesting that there has been trouble using the USB hub that the keyboard contains, as it worked fine for me the first time I plugged it in. Volume controls in Gnome also work (F11 and F12 keys), so that was not a problem for me either. NumLock also works fine for me, and I am able to switch back and forth between the number keys and the directional keypad using the numlock key.

numpad works fine out of the box. no problems with usb connections to scanner and camera. Only problem is that grub does not recognise the keyboard during loading (it is fine in BIOS or once into SUSE) but with defaults set you usually do not need any input at this stage.
