I confirm this bug with Jaunty 64-bit on a MacBookPro4,1. To activate keyboard backlight, I have to use these commands:
$ sudo modprobe applesmc $ echo 150 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 keyboard backlight not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL): New Status in Mactel Support: New Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The keyboard backlight on the MacBook 5.1 is not supported as of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Alpha 5. This is supported in Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10) by the Mactel PPA packages hal-applesmc, hid-dkms, and possibly nvidia-bl-dkms, though I installed the nvidia-bl-dkms package for Jaunty. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
