Just want to mention that MacBook5,1 seems to be able to boot Linux with ACPI enabled. MacBook5,2 won't boot Linux unless you use the acpi=off option. Again if someone can say differently, please do.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex with kernel 2.6.27.11 x86 generic. The machine's Hardware version id is Macbook5,2. It is one of the new early 2009 white macbooks with geforce 9400 video. I suspect this is the cause why Ubuntu won't show battery status and won't allow me to change screen brightness.
