[Pommed-devel] macbook 3

Sat Jun 16 19:19:31 UTC 2007

At the moment, nvidia support is unavailable:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=92980
so if i do: find /sys |grep -i nvidia nothing shows up!

and if i do: find /sys |grep -i backlight
all that shows up is things related to the keyboard's  backlight (i'm
running the ubuntu kernel that i've patched with the mactel-linux
patches)
