Comments/Problems:
Keeping in mind http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook, the installation proceeded
unexpectedly well. The partitioning has been done in MacOS X (entirely, i.e.
resizing and creating, with the graphical disk utility). The triple boot
layout is managed with rEFIt (http://refit.sourceforge.net/).
During partition hard drives I just have labeled the linux partition
correctly. Right after debootstrap (IIRC) I created a swap file (more than four
partitions are not recommended for GPT/MBR mix).
*suggestion*: support swap files in the debian installer
Grub2 has been successfully installed in /dev/sda3. Before rebooting I had to
synchronize MBR and GPT with
chroot /target
aptitude install refit
/sbin/gptsync /dev/sda
This is the only thing that is really *missing* in the debian installer.
Final adjustments:
* install 'pommed' so that the apple laptop hotkeys are recognized
* add 'options snd-hda-intel model=mbp3' so that the sound chip is detected
* correct the xorg keyboard options (for anyone who is used to the mac layout):
Option XkbModel macbook79
Option XkbOptions apple:badmap
* install 'gsynaptics' and configure the touchpad according to
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/README.Debian.gz
this would be easier if a 'ServerLayout' section and the 'Input Device'
section for the touchpad are present by default (like in Ubuntu)
* install 'lm-sensors' and add chip driver 'coretemp' to '/etc/modules'
Have not tried yet:
* bluetooth
* camera
* external monitor
* infrared receiver
* microphone
* wireless network
* map 2nd and 3rd mouse button to the keyboard
* use apple/cmd key as ctrl (so that apple-q quits application like in MacOS X)
Cheers, Jens
