I am hacking out a few issues with my MBP17" with Gentoo at the moment:
1) while trying to get the backlight control and multimedia keys sorted I
began to look at xev for the key codes - all the keys except the fn key
register. After searching I found that the patch needed was already
applied but I had not built the function into the kernel:
[code]
<*> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
│ │
│ │[*] HID input layer support
│ │
│ │[*] Enable support for iBook/PowerBook special keys
│ [/code]
so I rebuilt the kernel as above but to no avail. with xev the fn key
does not ever register.
2) Although I can read and burn CDs and DVDs and play CDs ok I cannot get
gxine to play DVDs - I wonder if anyone else has experiened this issue
where the error is:
[code]
The xine engine failed to start.
No demuxer found - stream format not recognised.[/code]
I have googled this and emerged teh gxinelibs with the recommended use
flags but to no avail.
3) Has anyone noticed that the caps-lock led does not light and appears
not to work properly and registers as Control L
[code]
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
root 0x75, subw 0x0, time 2111257855, (166,153), root:(176,226),
state 0x0, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
root 0x75, subw 0x0, time 2111257975, (166,153), root:(176,226),
state 0x4, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
[/code]
Might be my particular setup?
TIA
Will
