Yes, although the install CD does not work yet without tweaking some things
there are step by stem instructions but they don't seem to cover this
problem as I guess not everyone has encountered it so use these instructions
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook until the part where is says
"**Select
*Start or install Ubuntu"* then follow these steps : Connect to the internet
through ethernet then get to a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+fn+F1 then run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo depmod -a
sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
## That last command should open a text editor with your xorg.conf, at
the end of this file add these lines:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection
## now exit nano by pressing ctrl+x, when asked if you want to save
type yes and hit enter, you will now be back at a terminal
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
## You should now be at a working GUI and you can finish the install
following the instructions up to the point where is says " To enable
mousekeys emulation, turn the lower Enter key into Right and Middle
Mouse Buttons:" as the rest is macbook specific and won't work on a
macbook pro ( wow this post turned out to be a lot longer than I
planned it to be :)
