Dear all,

I've noticed that the mouse does no longer work in X using 2.6.28-rc1
nor does the fn-key emulation work on my macbookpro 1,1.

It perfectly works with 2.6.27.3...

Yup. The patch fixing this issue is in the bunch for which the pull
request has already been sent to Linus, but it didn't happen yet.

indeed w/ -rc2 the mouse works fine. Re' fn-keys the path in /sys
changed to /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode ...

Thanks for verification.

Yes, the apple quirks have been separated to a separate module (and the
same applies for all other device-specific quirks that were present in the
generic HID code). Having all these together in the generic code started
to become totally unmaintainable mess, the current way is much more
clean.
