After more searching regarding this same issue seen in Intrepid it seems there was a gnome-power-manager provided in the PPA to help address light-sensor readings adjusting the brightness of keyboard backlight. I've also tried mucking around in this file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-applesmc.fdi and this one /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-macbookpro-utils.fdi
but didn't successfully accomplish anything. These seem to be the main 2 involved though. -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 keyboard backlight not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
