Good idea Eric. I think that is easier than maintaining a package.
I'm glad you found a workaround, since this problem got tougher with the
new 2.6.28 kernel.
usbhid code is at bitmath.org git repo though...
http://bitmath.org/code/usbhid-dkms/
The possibility to control the mouse interface was moved to the hid
module, which is now built into the kernel. You'd have to hack the
usbhid module with something like this
untested-and-not-compiled-and-unsupported piece of code:
diff --git a/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c b/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c
index 606369e..2fe49ab 100644

I am leaving this snippet as a pointer to a possible solution for anyone
who feels like picking it up. Please understand that I will not
regularly answer emails regarding this or other jaunty issues. I will
hopefully see you gentlemen during the karmic work, as that is the next
release I will involve myself in.
So long,
Henrik

The conjecture is that the built-in HID module is stealing the mouse interface. To confirm, please reboot and attach the full output of dmesg.

Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad] on usb-:00:04.0-6/input0 So, most likely, bcm5974 cannot claim the device. To confirm, it should suffice to see that the line below returns no output: grep bcm5974 /proc/bus/input/devices The problem is that I cannot off-hand think of a way to set the ignore-mouse quirks in the jaunty kernel; things were moved around quite a bit, and it seems to me some of the quirks possibilities were removed. Compiling a custom kernel is of course always an option.

Opening up xev the trackpad doesn't produce any events on anything other than left click (I don't know if it should be expected to if the problem is simply that the FDI is not being utilized). The jaunty kernel does not include the necessary changes for the MacBook5-1 to work, but the bcm5974-dkms package solves the problem and is now available in the Mactel PPA.
