"Binary package hint: hal This is a small one. To enable Macbook Keyboard Backlight and Brightness control with the F# keys, this file requires some editing: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-macbookpro-utils.fdi Since there's no entry for the new Macbooks, whose ID is "MacBookPro3,1". You need to add this in order to make the keys work (well, they dont actually *work* as of now, but at least they get detected when you press them): <match key="system.hardware.product" string="MacBookPro3,1"> <spawn udi="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_pro_light_sensor"/> <spawn udi="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_pro_keyboard_backlight"/> <spawn udi="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_pro_lcd_panel"/> </match> The important part is the STRING thing in the first line." Tomas Pollak This was reported at launchpad, in Ubuntu. If this code is added the brightness controls can work.
