Looks like it's just been fixed. Any idea when these changes will be pushed into mainline? That's very promising! Thanks for keeping us tuned!
Have you tried removing the wireless modules and then putting the laptop to sleep/resuming manually?
sudo -s
s2ram && /usr/local/sbin/fixgpu
I've had trouble with pm-utils from testing so I...
You need to compile a little program to shut down the ATI and enable the i915 because the ATI is woken up after suspend. Look for "fixgpu" on my page (it's taken from this thread originally).
Any progress on that?
Cheers,
While we're at it, any idea why the apple_bl patch was not integrated upstream?
Sorry I was offline for a bit. Glad to see you figured out the culprit. Looking forward to pressuring the driver maintainers for inclusion once the patch is updated.
I may have tripped since I wrote that from memory. You can install gdisk within MacOS X and partition the drive before running the installer, and then install gdisk in the chroot to relabel...
Awesome. I don't keep my kernel in a git repo, but I got the Debian sid package for Linux 3.1.4 with the i915 LVDS patch applied working here.
Same here. Who should we poke about it? Where shall we fill bugreports?
I was too late for the original patch I'm afraid, so I don't know who comitted it in the first place and what the answer to...
Any success on compiling i915 with the LVDS patch for current -rc kernels, anyone?
That sounds bad. Knowing that, getting vga_switcheroo to work in EFI mode would be very good. Has anyone successfully tried the patch?
Maybe. Since you're running Lion, I assume you just bought your MBP81. Can you confirm it's a late 2011 model? It may be possible that these models cannot boot in BIOS mode.
In any case, I suggest...
Hmm. When pressing F2, xev outputs this:
KeyRelease event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
root 0xb4, subw 0x0, time 29267064, (137,61), root:(888,831),
state 0x0, keycode...
Unfortunately, it didn't change a thing. I believe my problems lies with pommed, since I can change the backlight manually, and F keys and Fn + F keys send distinct keycodes (seen with xev). Should...
Oh my. It looks like I was stupid enough to overlook the hid-apple patches floating around, assuming the USB IDs had been merged upstream by now, and that keyboard/touchpad wouldn't work at all if...
Thanks. Unfortunately, I still have to find a way to get backlight adjustement with function keys / keyboard backlight to work. Anyone?
There was an apple_bl + vga_switcheroo patch made/posted by shirk at bitspin dot org on this thread a while ago (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10848581&postcount=456), but I couldn't get it...
Same here. I hope someone with some kernel driver insight can figure out how to fix this, 'cause I wouldn't like to have to live with linux 3.1.1 for the rest of my MBP82 days. :???:
Does anyone...
Okay, here's my ongoing howto : http://dentifrice.poivron.org/laptops/macbookpro8,2/
If anyone has fixes for what I couldn't get to work, please share.
After some hours parsing this thread, I feel I better comprehend the MBP82 EFI situation, but there's a number of obscure areas still ! Starting with backlight management (for the record, I'm using...
I would start right here with the first post on this very page we're on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11422801&postcount=731
Beware though, you'll probably find yourself spending lots of...
It's the native way to boot a Mactel, as opposed to BIOS emulation booting, which involves, well, emulating a BIOS that doesn't exist. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting for more info....
Thanks for your answer! So it seems that external monitor doesn't work in EFI? Are there any hints on how to find a workaround? Is it the only missing feature in EFI mode, or are some other things...
It appears the LVDS patch was never included. It does not apply cleanly against Linux 3.1.1 but I applied it by hand, but unfortunately, this brought no change whatsoever: I still get a totally...
