[Bug 125918] Re: [Gutsy Tribe 2, Intrepid Alpha 2+] Illuminated keyboard not working on MacBook Pro rev.3 (santa rosa)

 

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the
upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release.  As a result, the kernel team would
appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.
There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1)  If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-
image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and
test.

--or--

2)  The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer
2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.  Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4.
Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced.
You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the
bug reported here or if the issue remains.  More importantly, please
open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the
2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'.  Also, please
specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26
kernel.  Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Bug description:
I know, I know, its silly. But hey, a bug's a bug. The keyboard on Apple's latest revision of the MacBook Pro does not illuminate in low light conditions. The problem is probably not so much the keyboard, but the light sensors that trigger the LED's.
