Apparently I'm the only one who gets a kernel hang when trying to load the ndiswrapper module, amusing because I'm the one that found the driver and got it working first. :(
As far as sound mine...
I've got the intel only graphics but while maxing out both cores and the GPU (one core doing a busy loop, the other running the game) the only part that is uncomfortably warm is the edge of the vent,...
As far as graphics mesa 7.10.1 seems to be very buggy with sandy bridge, even fullscreen flash crashes it for me. I enabled the xorg-edgers ppa to get 7.11 git snapshots and all of my issues went...
They're in this thread somewhere, I think page 6.
Ok, scratch that, it looks like bluetooth works too, it just needs the id (05ac:821a) added to the driver. Here is a quick package that does this. It doesn't seem to want to install the kernel module...
So with the new packages for the keyboard and mouse I think the only things we're missing now are bluetooth, wifi, and thunderbolt.
Note: I've left the wifi instructions on the wiki as they seem...
For that we need a driver for the touchpad, which we currently don't have.
Unless support for this chip suddenly emerges and the Ubuntu kernel team backports the support the open source driver will not support it. The driver in 2.6.38 does _not_ support this chip. Our best...
The last commit to ndiswrapper was a couple weeks ago adding 2.5.38 compatibility. The one before that was 5 months ago. I doubt you'll see a fix on the ndiswrapper side for this. We just need a...
Well the older x86 driver still won't support the chip and the newer one fails due to trying to use a bunch of Windows kernel functions that ndiswrapper doesn't support so x86 won't help there.
...
Nope, newer versions of the driver don't work with ndiswrapper, older versions don't have support for the chip we have, and even pulling from ndiswrapper SVN ends up with either a kernel hang or at...
Ok, so after a reboot loading ndiswrapper in to the kernel causing it to hang quite solidly. Back to the drawing board...
Yeah, bcm5974-dkms doesn't include the ID for the touchpad in the 8,1 and adding it to the driver doesn't make things work so I suspect more work is needed there.
As far as ndiswrapper goes, I...
Got the wifi to work with ndiswrapper at least, submitting this post with it. I used the attached driver with ndiswrapper and on natty had to modify ndiswrapper itself to compile against the 2.6.38...
The new MBP has pretty solid graphics support but out of the box on natty lacks ethernet, wifi, display brightness, Fn key support, SD card reader, and touchpad support. And that's just what I can...
Natty is no help, still no wifi. Does the Fn key work for you guys?
What you're seeing is a crash in your driver which is the reason Firefox and Chrome have disabled WebGL for your driver.
The developers know about it. :)
I've already explained in the launchpad bug report that spawned this thread why this doesn't actually fix the problem and why we can't do it by default anyway.
Making this work requires changes to Xorg, mesa, every graphics driver, and every compositor. "GNOME 3" isn't required to make these changes but you'll be waiting for nvidia to support it even after...
I've already told you, this is simply not possible right now. We'd all love to love to have it but our drivers and Xorg lack the capability.
Apple actually has a patent on this "spring loaded folders" technique so... not likely.
X is way behind Windows 7's display server, at least in regards to handling crashes. There is no doubt about that. X can be fixed instead of replaced though and I'm sure that is what will happen.
...
X has many benefits but it does also has many problems. The main problem in this case is that a bug in a single application, driver, or the X server itself kills all of your running GUI applications....
Ok guys, you can stop using my patch. :) Just install the bcmwl-kernel-source package. It uses dkms to automatically build for your kernel on updates.
