https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430484 Summary: Apple Macbook specific requirements not detected and configured properly Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: razvan.cosma@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- The x86 MacBook Pro requires some bits of software different for other generic PC platforms, a list of what I have tried and tested to work during the past year includes: 1. Module applesmc must be loaded 2. Pommed must be installed and started on boot 3. Modules nv and vesa have very poor performance. The stable Nvidia driver does not work. Minimal version tested to work with kernel 2.4.27 is 177.70. 4. Display for the 15" model is 1440x900, but the option is not available in Sax. 5. Wireless with madwifi or ath9k does not work. Interface is up, iwlist shows available networks, but networkmanager does not connect. The only working driver is the Windows one from the Bootcamp cd, loaded using ndiswrapper. 6. One-button trackpad requires some additional lines in xorg.conf to allow for multi-finger operation. 7. Module appleir must be loaded 8. Keys "delete" and "insert" are missing, and two additional ones are present - "command" and the one that behaves like "enter" on the right of Space. A quick solution for the issues above would be: 1. Load applesmc 2. Add pommed to the install ISO, configure it to start automatically, inform the user of the existence of pommed.conf (he/she might want to change fnmode) 3. Load vesa or nv, but also display a message with a link to the Nvidia beta downloads page. 4. Add 1440x900 option 5. The Bootcamp driver is not a free download, inform the user about unpacking the driver with unrar from the CD, ndiswrapper and blacklisting ath9k. 6. Add the corresponding lines. 7. Load appleir, add this model to the control panel options. 8. Create a reasonable xmodmap -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
