Story of a laptop user

[Lundberg, Johannes]

Hi

Sorry for cutting in on the thread like this but what you are talking
about, I would like to do for the macbook. What is the recommenend way to
get screen brightness and other functionality working? xbacklight does not
work. I'm not sure if I use the intel backlight module correctly or if it
evens works on macbook. Should we create an acpi_apple similar to acpi_ibm
perhaps?

And, while we working on the wiki pages, maybe it is time to update the
macbook wiki page which is pretty old. I have a bunch of notes about
running on macbook, dual boot setup etc.

Thanks!
