OK - It appears the underlying issue is that HAL is built without MacBook support for the reason that it uses hackish solutions (writing directly to /dev/mem in particular). Ubuntu builds HAL with MacBook support, and hence g-p-m functions fine on that distribution. I merged this with the bug rep

I think this just simply a dupe of 399039, and I figure Ubuntu is building HAL with MacBook support. From the looks of that kernel driver, it appears us MacBook users are stuck with pommed until somebody writes a kernel driver to interface with HAL.. On 7/26/07, Tim Hull <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

Then I figure that this is NOT, in fact, an issue of merging Ubuntu patches OR an issue related to pommed but a bug with g-p-m recognizing MacBooks in Debian. I've retitled the bug appropriately. Does anyone have a clue as to where I would look? I'm thinking Ubuntu configures something to make t
