Description Lars Strojny 2007-11-28 15:29:30 UTC

Currently Gentoo's sys-apps/hal is shipped without --with-macbook/--with-macbookpro. This means that some functionality like backlight adjusting is not working for Gentoo users with MacBooks. I've created a patch to add a USE-flag "mac", which handles this build options.

Patch adds USE-flag for macbook/macbook pro support

What's the issue with this? It's pretty easy to fix and would solve one headache for macbook users

Lars: 

Thanks for the patch, I was wondering why my keys stopped working, did some digging and it turns out it was hal :( Decided to check here before creating my own.

Will consider for 0.5.11-r8. (Please upgrade to 0.5.11-r7 with the newest hal-info and confirm that this functionality doesn't auto-enable itself in that situation)
