Not sure if it is related. Let me know if I should file another bug.
I have the bcm5974-dkms module installed but it doesn't work at bootup.
I find that I have to rmmod bcm5974; modprobe bcm5974 to get it to work.
This is on lucid with the mactel PPA

It seems like there's a lot of noise on this bug; for what it's worth,
I'm only really interested in one of the things mentioned in #38

Doesn't work out of the box for me on current Karmic Beta, as Jim Rorie
claims. It used to work on Intrepid with some additional packages from
the Mactel Support PPA, but I deliberately dropped all PPA packages
after updating to Karmic, and even moved the fdi file I had created on
Intrepid. So my
The package in the PPA is really a kernel module. It could be that the
version of that driver that we have in the kernel is a bit dated.

Unfortunately the bcm5974-dkms PPA module is delivered as full text
source, not as a patch against some underlying kernel source. So when
comparing that file to the one in the current kernel, and as I don't
know the common ancestor, I don't know which modifications were
introduced in the kernel
Stupid me: it's the Gnome settings which disabled taps and stuff like
that. I just found out that with my fdi file in place, taps worked all
right in the gdm login screen, but failed once the session was started.
I found the corresponding settings in System / Settings / Mouse /
Touchpad.
So I
So I take back my complaints: things work, only the Mactel guides
talking about fdi files need adjusting, as settings are now per-user
and
not per-system. If you can manage to log in without those settings,
that
is.
Martin,
Could you be more specific about the per user/per session
Martin:
doesn't that touchpad have physical buttons?
If it doesn't have buttons then the gnome-settings-daemon should enable
tap-to-click by default (only in this case)

I'll try. The current docs describe how you should place a file in
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/ in order to enable tapping and two-finger scrolling
and such stuff. While this is still true for the initial settings of the
X server, once a user logs in, gnome-settings-daemon overwrites these

Ok, If I understand this correctly, you are saying that the hal

Correct.

On a 13 Macbook Pro 5.5 I followed all the steps and nothing worked for
me. :(
