hi all!

i updated the first posting to my best knowledge. i myself run Gentoo, so i don't know if i got it completely right for Ubuntu.

i read through most of the thread but not everything, so:...

xf86-input-multitouch status:
beta1 has been released. rc1 scheduled for July 20th.




The Multitouch X Driver driver uses the kernel MT protocol to bring multi-touch gestures to the Linux...

hey everybody,

me again.

so like probably all of you, I'm rather annoyed by the synaptics-drivers... i'm not blaming the developers here, it's just a 10 year old piece of software and maybe...

hi there again, guys

uhm - so I still haven't gotten my mic to work.
there must be some patches or whatnot in your distros, in gentoo at least it doesn't seem to be working.

so i was...

hi everybody

i know most of you guys obviously use ubuntu.
however i don't and i finally took the time to extract the appleir-code from the 33MB single diff-file that is applied to the vanilla...

that's not weird, but called "kexec system call" - it's a kernel-feature, that allows you to simply reboot into another kernel, you skip everything else (like bios/efi and also grub)

... seriously - no one is gonna comment on that?

so listen you guys....

so i decided that i now use OS X, coz sound doesn't work with the headphones.

i now believe opensource is "a cancer that infects everything it touches"...

ohno wait a...

well you can enable TapButton1,2,3 - so you only have to tap to click - that is one help, also: i talked to some people who then told me that synaptics is being worked on, so that the apple-magic...

Hey *,

so i found this patch (which i altered a little bit) so that the CapsLock-Key becomes the "Print/SysRq"-Key.

this way you can use the magic-sysrq-keys again.
(Alt-CapsLock-S/U/O to...

should be sufficient to do a configure with --with-sequencer.
like so:

./configure --enable-dynamic-minors --without-oss --with-cards="hda-intel" --with-sequencer

.

hm okay- this is rather interesting. you might want to join alsa-devel - mailinglist with your information.

or alternatively: could you grab alsa-info.sh (here:...

did you try the instructions you can find in this very thread?

according to a few things i've been reading/hearing, the MBP5,4 (15") and the 17" have a different codec on their hda-chip, compared to the 13" 5,5.

barryreid or some other mbp5,4-owner, could you...

that's actually a good pointer. i also have the new firmware. so that seems to be right.

also: yeah reboot still sucks ;)

hard to say. however there are a few things you can check:



sudo lsmod | grep snd


if that shows a bunch of lines including snd_hda_intel, the driver got loaded.
see if...

also:
it's "bobbytables", not "bobbytales", guys ;)

sure thing:

grab it here:
http://nutz.unfoog.de/mbp_2.6.30.config

however: since i like to make my configs small, maybe this one is either not working with ubuntu. also: if you used...

as stated in my more recent posts: there is a fix. eventhough it takes some manual labour.
however maybe someone involved in this thread can make a little manual how to do it right on ubuntu.

...

completely forgot to tell you guys:

takashi fixed it as far as this:
- digital out works ootb
- built-in speakers work TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
- even "surround" seems to be an extra speaker...

Well not 'compiz', but yes: my kwin is using compositing. so yeah - alpha-channel and wobbly windows, and exposé and all that jazz. ;) works perfectly.


you're welcome :) although thanks...

i got a question actually:

all of those ubuntu users who also have the A1156 - Apple Remote:

when you run "xev" and you start hitting buttons on your remote (while obviously pointing it to the...

it would be good to know if it is using the same chip.
do this in a shell:


sudo lspci |grep -i Audio

and see if it returns:
"Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio...

w000000000000000000000t


okay i get sound =) via built-in speakers. .. right now it's by using hda-verb etc... it's kind of a hustle.

just saying: sit tight, there'll be a solution in a bit =)

hey folks,

so we, .. well takashi iwai, made some major headway

and digital-out works :) .. however analog still doesn't.

if digital is enough for you, go grab his latest unstable snapshot:...
