Hello all, been a while since I've been here but I'm trying to run 11.10 on my macbook pro 5,5 and I'm having a hell of a time getting the backlight brightness keys working. I've been working on it for a couple days now with nothing to show for it. I've come to the conclusion that with the proprietary nvidia drivers in 11.10 the backlight module simply does not support my machine. The pommed modules seem to not be any help as they have been sucked into the kernel and renamed apple_bl. Adding EnableBrightnessControl=1 to the xorg.conf does nothing as well. The only way I've been able to get the hotkeys working has been by using the nouveau video driver, but then I can't use compiz and the scale feature.

Is anyone running 11.10 on on a macbook pro 5,5 that has successfully gotten the backlight controls working?
