[Bug 337935] Re: [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty)

 

I think the bug has been fixed in the update. At least I cannot reproduce it anymore.
See the changelog here:
https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/612058/+listing-archive-extra

So maybe someone wants to close this bug?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg

The touchpad for MacBook 5.1 is not supported completely in Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) as of Alpha 5 release. The pointer can move, and a physical left-click works, but that's it. I can not get tapping to respond as I could using the Mactel PPA packages with Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10). I added the attached FDI policy file for the touchpad, and manually added the module bcm5974 to my /etc/modules file, however, Xorg is not loading or is not recognizing the touchpad policies. This file worked on Intrepid. The custom bcm5974-dkms package from the Mactel PPA provided support in Intrepid.
