I've just upgraded to Natty Beta2 and have run into what appears to be the same bug. The number pad is not working and some key mappings are incorrect (hash, pound sign).

Previously, my Apple aluminium keyboard worked fine when the right options were set in the Gnome keyboard preferences. However, since the upgrade, I'm getting a warning whenever I login or try to change the keyboard preferences. The error message is asking me to run to commands if reporting a bug:

root@jwinn-desktop:~# xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "applealu_iso", "gb", "mac", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,apple:alupckeys,numpad:mac"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "applealu_iso", "gb", "mac", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,apple:alupckeys,numpad:mac"

root@jwinn-desktop:~# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = []
 model =
 options = [terminate terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,apple apple:alupckeys,numpad numpad:mac,compat apple:alupckeys,compat numpad:mac]

I have xkeyboard-config (2.1-1ubuntu3) installed.

Thanks for your help.
