I have other issues with it being that now it generally ALWAYS keep the
keyboard backlight on.  Doesn't seem to effectively utilize the light
sensors.  I mentioned the issues in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141029 (I am inphektion).

I've sent the email as Mr. Campbell suggested to the mactel support
team, haven't heard back yet but has been < 24hrs.

Will update wiki with this info...

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.
