The trackpad and keyboard problem are really one bug.

Please post the output of the 'lsusb' and 'lspci -nn' commands.

lspci -nn

I did some more research and found this: http://touchd.sourceforge.net/

Looks like the touchpad might need some extra tricks... Either way, here's the
ouput.

I got to compiling and running touchd (http://touchd.sourceforge.net/) and it
worked very well. There were a few problems starting it (segfaults) and the cap
locks LED doesn't work once it's running, but I think it's a good starting
point. From what I've read just adding the device IDs won't work for the MacBook
4,1 since the trackpad doesn't work like a synaptic device anymore.

Bug 445762 seem not duplicated Bug 445761, someone in ubuntu forum has solution
for bug 445762 (fn key). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro/Penryn

Comment 9 Stewart Adam 2008-05-23 23:34:02 UTC
I tried getting that to work, 'usbhid' isn't compiled as a module so
unfortunately that specific fix won't work for Fedora but if we can get that
quirk in to usbhid.c then it will work fine.

On the other hand, would missing the ability to control the backlight go under
hal, kernel or gnome-power-manager? If it's the kernel, I have the feeling it's
the same problem as the trackpad/keyboard and we'll just need to add a quirk or
device ID.

You can add this to the kernel boot options for the MacBook Air:

usbhid.quirks=0x05ac:0x0223:0x00000800,0x05ac:0x0224:0x00004800,0x05ac:0x0225:0x00000800

And this for the MacBook Pro 4,1:

usbhid.quirks=0x05ac:0x0230:0x00000800,0x05ac:0x0231:0x00004800,0x05ac:0x0232:0x00000800


Comment 11 Chuck Ebbert 2008-05-27 20:47:04 UTC
keyboard patches are in kernel-2.6.25.4-34

Comment 12 Chuck Ebbert 2008-05-27 20:49:42 UTC
oops, actually in 2.6.25.4-35

Comment 13 Stewart Adam 2008-05-28 22:15:49 UTC
Perfect, I downloaded the kernel from koji and it works (almost) perfectly.

One thing I noticed is the F5/F6 keys for backlight control still report F5/F6
with fn or without it - Is this also part of the same bug?

Comment 14 Stewart Adam 2008-06-04 23:37:09 UTC
Forgot to mention that F3+F4 (as in the expose and dashboard keys, not the
actual F3+F4 key presses) aren't detected by xev but no setkeycode messages
appears in dmesg either.
