@Ste: I also suspect the Nvidia driver is to blame for not being able to switch
to a text terminal, it's happened before (toshiba laptops 1-2 years ago or
so..). 

The backlight control: it seems to me that it boots with whatever backlight
setting it had last using OSX which is not too bad.

I'm using Debian i386 (i.e. 32 bits) with a mixture of Lenny and Squeeze
packages; with a custom kernel 2.6.32.7 (disabled everything I didn't need).

I have no problems with the audio (once configured). I used to be able to use
the iSight; right now the system is not "noticing" it in spite of having the
firmware properly loaded and the uvc video drivers. I don't think it's because
of booting via EFI because I've tried it while booting "normally" (maxcpus=1
and normal, non-efi grub; in this case I've tried also a previous kernel and a
debian generic 2.6.26, in both which I used to be able to get iSight up and
running but for some reason it won't anymore. I suspect the udev update broke
something :S)

Ah, and last but not least.. by using the efi-grub I'm able to boot without the
need of any kernel command line option (though of course video=efifb is
necessary in case of problems while booting, otherwise nothing is visible :P)
