Title:
  Macbook Pro Third Generation HAL Support

Status in Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL):
  Fix Released
Status in Mactel Support:
  Fix Released
Status in “hal” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hal

  This is a small one. To enable Macbook Keyboard Backlight and
  Brightness control with the F# keys, this file requires some editing:

  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-macbookpro-utils.fdi

  Since there's no entry for the new Macbooks, whose ID is
  "MacBookPro3,1". You need to add this in order to make the keys work
  (well, they dont actually *work* as of now, but at least they get
  detected when you press them):

          <match key="system.hardware.product" string="MacBookPro3,1">
            <spawn udi="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_pro_light_sensor"/>
            <spawn udi="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_pro_keyboard_backlight"/>
            <spawn udi="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_pro_lcd_panel"/>
          </match>

  The important part is the STRING thing in the first line.
