[Bug 685825] [NEW] problems using ubuntu on a macbook in true efi mode

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I've installed ubuntu on a macbook 6,1 with true EFI booting, this time
not with rEFIt. Interestingly, some hardware problems have arisen. The
first is that the first ten function keys work (with Fn of course) but
the F11 and F12 keys invoke middle mouse click and right mouse click for
reasons I can't seem to understand. This is, of course, with Fn pressed
(the non-Fn functions, lower and raise sound volume respectively, work
fine).

The second problem I've noticed is that only one core on the Core 2 Duo CPU seems to be detected. This is evident in gnome-system-monitor and coretemp, but not lshw, which reports both cores correctly.
