You are the real life LongtimeUser4.

Unfortunately I can’t help more than that.

Edit: can you give the output of lsmod? I wonder if a hacked linux keyboard driver could help? I’m happy to give it a try if your interested in testing it.

Haha, I even use Emacs too. :)

It’s a pretty long output. Maybe hid_apple or mac_hid? But I’m unsure what most of those are, hence why I included them all, sorry about that.

I’ll do a little research into both and try work out if there is anything that could be done. I can’t promise anything in terms of promptness, this is a learning experience for me as well. So hopefully someone else has an answer for you :)
