mbpeventd 0.6: MacBook support
mbeventd 0.6 is out, featuring support for the MacBook.
Thanks go to Ryan Lortie for his macbook-backlight tool, providing the backlight control routines for the Intel GMA950, and to Enrico Tassi for bringing this to my intention with his ITP (#402193) and testing the new version.
Thanks to Ludovic Rousseau who confirmed that mbpeventd was working on the Core Duo MacBook Pro.
Additionally, mbpeventd should now detect all versions of the Mac Intel laptops. If it doesn’t, please drop me a mail and the output of mbpeventd -f run as root. I’m still not sure that the SMBIOS detection will work when using an EFI-aware kernel.
Note: for the Core2 Duo machines, you need to use a kernel >= 2.6.19 for the function keys to work.
Version 0.6 AMD64 packages and sources: http://people.debian.org/~jblache/pkg/mbpeventd/
Still no sound support, it’s the next item on the TODO list. It’s going to be a bit tricky, and I’m not yet sure how that should work (wrt the fact that the laptops use 2 different outputs for the headphones and speakers).
