    Ubuntu 8.05 and MacbookPro last generation

    Hi,
    I installed ubuntu 8.05 on my new macbook pro (last generation) but I have a lot of problem and I have not found the solution in other threads.

    The problems are:
    -I can't use bluetooth: I don't see other device and they don't see me, this is "hcitool scan" output:

    Scanning ...
    Inquiry failed: Connection timed out


    -Special keys don't work (sound volume, brightness, etc) also if I use Fn key.
    I installed Pommed but never changed.

    -\| and <> keys are swapped!!
    I've found a script ti solve this problem but it use xkbset and I can't use it:

    $ xkbset m
    XKB not supported for display :0.0

    I hope somebody can help me and I clarify that I'm not a very expert user.

    I solved problem about swapped keys (now xkbset works!!!) and bluetooth ( sudo hciconfig hci0 reset) but problem about special keys, Fn and pommed remains...

    Are you using the 32 bit or the 64 bit version?

    Why don't install 8.10 ?
    The kernel is more recent
    Then if you use dkms and applesmc kernel module, all will be fine !
