I assume that Linux users want Fn-Lock enabled by default, so they can
get at the function keys. If this is an incorrect assumption then can
change it---so long as there's some way of me leaving it enabled :)

Tested with and applies cleanly to 3.13.6.

Jamie,

thanks for the driver.

I think it'd make more sense if this could be folded into hid-lenovo-tpkbd
driver. Could you please do that and resubmit?

I can do if required, although I didn't originally since there would be no common code whatsoever between the keyboards. The newer keyboard has no leds to register, and no trackpoint settings are exposed like on the older keyboard. Equally the newer Fn-Lock setting wouldn't make sense for the older keyboards, since they have grown-up function keys. The similarity stops with the name.

I have both the USB and the Bluetooth versions of this keyboard now, once I have finished support for both[0] I will resubmit support for both.

Cheers,
