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..

I'm actually on a MacBook (non-Pro) but I figure HAL works the same in both
cases...

It looks like HAL in Debian is built without support for the macbook
pro,
They don't use pommed at all - they use just gnome-power-manager.
I'm just saying pommed will change the brightness on Debian, so it is
obvious brightness CAN be changed on Debian.

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
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
