P. Dunbar,

It does not work for me either, as for everyone else I suppose. Also, I
don't see anywhere in the wiki [1] a reference in the wiki about the
backlit-keyboard F-keys (F5, F6) working.

Cheers, Nikos

Bug description:
The keyboard backlight on the MacBook 5.1 is not supported as of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Alpha 5. This is supported in Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10) by the Mactel PPA packages hal-applesmc, hid-dkms, and possibly nvidia-bl-dkms, though I installed the nvidia-bl-dkms package for Jaunty.
