Bump due to update in first post.
I got the same MBP just yesterday. I have been ubuntu users for few years now and I'd rather keep using that. Did you encounter any other problem?
I am quite amazed by how MacOSX is handling the battery life (7 hours is wow) and the suspend/resume routine (you open the lid and it's just ON!); how do these two compare under Ubuntu? Can anyone make a comment?
So far I haven't really used it yet, sorry. Suspend, hibernate and restart all don't work for me, so unlike OS X you have to shut it completely off each time you stop using it with Ubuntu. Can't comment on battery yet as I haven't used it without power supply so far.Quote:

I have installed 9.04 and of course I have the same problem.
Other things that do not work despite using the mactel ppa are:
*brightness of the screen:*
cannot be regulated in any way: no applet, no keys, no automatic
also pommed doesn't work (version 1.25) as it complaints that the macbook is unknow.
*suspend / resume / restart*
none of them works. Only shutdown does.
*nvidia 180*
makes compiz crash. 173 works
other things seem to work.
If you or anybody else find something new please update.
Granted I'm using Gentoo with 2.6.30, so my information may not be the most applicable, but nvidia 185.18.14 works really well with compiz for me. Try compiling and installing them.Quote:

Install nvclock to control screen brightness.
+1. I'm having exactly the same problem with sound as you people.
My outputs look exactly like the OP's, and did pretty much the same as him (options, new alsa, etc).
Looking forward to get the sound working!
Some update:
nvidia drivers 185.x.x work nicely
the deb package can be find at this ppa
https://launchpad.net/~thefirstm/+archive/ppa
nvclock works for changing screen brightness but a better way is to install
nvidia_bl_dkms from the mactel repository
https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/ppa
adding the line
nvidia_bl
to the file /etc/modules
This way screen brightness can be controlled through the F keys and also will adjust automatically with the light sensor. If you are not happy with the automatic adjustament you can customize values in gconf-editor apps/gnome-power-manager/ambient
The touchpad works but tapping doesn't work out of the box. You need to configure certain variables using synclient. In my case I changed
synclient TapButton1=1
synclient TapButton2=2
synclient TapButton3=3
synclient PalmDetect=1
synclient VertEdgeScroll=0
more later

Just to let you know, I emailed the pommed author and sent him some output so he could update pommed for the new 13" Macbook Pro. You can download the source for the updated version (1.27) from the git repository here.
Hope that helps.
OP, have you emailed Kacper regarding this? If so, have you received any reply?
Hey guys, there's a lot of talk on this thread about the 5,5 (13" pro), but does anyone know if this also applies to the new 15" (that is, the 5,3)? Because that is what I have and I'm not getting any sound either. I'm going to assume the problems with the 5,5 will carry over to the other new ones as well, unless someone tells me that a solution already exists.
