Hi Chris,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest development release of Ubuntu?  ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).  It will automatically
gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 337945

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the
issue.  Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once
you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-
testing' tag.  This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon
next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and
deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  Please let us know your
results.

Thanks in advance.

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.
