Macbook Pro 8,1 + Maverick

How do your keyboard/mouse work if the bluetooth is not dectected ?

I am not totally sure. I am triple-booting OS X, Win7, and Ubuntu. They were paired under OS X and not under the other ones, but work in all.

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 kernel but you shouldn't have to worry about that in maverick.

Sorry about the double compression but I needed to use 7z to get it small enough to attach and gz to get a file format the forum would allow. file-roller should open it without problems although you may need to install the p7zip package first.

Hi, I just got a new MacBook pro 8,1 and I installed debian sid on this machine.(Sorry, I'm not using Ubuntu, but I think my experience might be helpful for Ubuntu users.) Now I can use linux kernel 2.6.38, compiled following this webpage http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildA...nKernelPackage Also I'm using the latest ndiswrapper in sid(1.56 r2729). After installing the windows driver, I can use ndiswrapper for my wireless driver. So far, it works well.

Hey guys, I followed the instructions on the wiki for the wireless internet. The wifi shows up in my network menu but when I select my internet and password(WPA2), it never connects. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As of today's update, the trackpad works with the following features

• two finger scrolling - horizontal and vertical
• right-click

still no backlight on the keyboard, and the Fn keys for brightness and contrast respond and display that they are working, but don't actually do anything. The other volume and music control keys do work fine.

now scrolling works fine on my trackpad but not the might mouse!

Yesterday I tried to output a value different of 0 in a file located in /sys/class/backlight/ and it has enabled the keyboard backlight.
The only problem is there is no light control according to the light detector.

I don't know what is your backlight keys issue but I have installed the packages available in mactel ppa and with all the updates in natty repository and my MacBook Pro 8,2 backlight control keys and almost the fn keys are working properly. Those that aren't working are stop/play/next/prev.

I have another problem that I can't identify when happens, but I think that when my computer suspends and after waking up again the screen has a minimal flickering that after a couple of minutes goes away...

I have not tested the Thunderbold port but seems that for me all is working properly but wireless without using ndiswrapper and the ATI privative drivers.

Great job guys!

Exact command to enable keyboard light :
echo 50 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
