Fedora 14 x86_64 on new Macbook AIR - mostly success
Just a short report: - Dualboot setup with rEFIt - Default install with nomodeset to avoid broken graphics (seems nv driver doesn't like the M320 in the MBA) - Using USB Ethernet adaptor to have network - added rpmfusion - Installed kmod-wl (for the wireless card) - Installed kmod-nvidia - ran nvidia-xconfig as root What works: - Suspend/resume, no prob - Webcam Just Works (tested with cheese) - network works What fails (partly) - no sound - external monitor via Minidisplayport doesn't work OOTB, needs fiddling with nvidia tool - Touchpad options are missing, only basic functions (no right-click, no multi-touch) So I would give it a 90% success ATM.

Does aplay -l show your sound device properly. That is, did alsa recognize your sound device? -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

To get my machine to make sound, I had to: 1) Force snd_hda_intel to detect the machine as a macbookpro: [wwo...@samus ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf options snd_hda_intel model=mbp55 2) Turn up the mixer volumes (and save them): alsamixer -c0 sudo alsactl store 0 I have a bug open about this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625188 - external monitor via Minidisplayport doesn't work OOTB, needs fiddling with nvidia tool This doesn't work in nouveau either - I suspect they've changed something about how the mini-DP works in recent models.. - Touchpad options are missing, only basic functions (no right-click, no multi-touch) Weird - works fine on my MacBook Pro. Two-finger click for right-click, three-finger for middle. Two-finger scrolling works horiz/vert (I might have had to go into the Mouse prefs to turn that on). Is the bcm5974 module loaded? It's possible they changed the USB product ID and yours isn't getting claimed by the right driver.. -w -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
