Hi all,
I just tested yesterday the live version of elive (I didn't installed on my HD). I got the new MacBookPro Santa Rosa (with the nvidia 8600M GT card).
There were many problems:
- The sound didn't work. In dmesg i got the following message:
Unknown model for ALC882, trying auto-probe from BIOS.
It seems that the alsa driver didn't recognize the MBP3 version of this sound card.
- The Nvidia drivers didn't work at all, althought there is a patched version of this driver wich work well. Is it patched in elive?
The nv driver didn't worked too. I used the vesa one in order to launch entrance.
- the network seems to have also problems: I configured my network ethernet card to work with DHCP, but when I activate the interface the card didn't receive a IP. I only use the elive GUI, didn't test manually.
- In french version there is several language mistakes: the "é" and "è" seems to have problems sometimes (instead there is a "u").
- The clock didn't set correctly to my region and changed the timezone in my hard installed linux.
- gpommed didn't seems to work neither. Can't change volume settings with "Fn + F5" or change the brightness.
- The good point: the touchpad worked well with multi-fingers.
If you need more information just post a reply
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Gilles
