Gentoo on my macbook5,1

The company I work for provided me with a macbook unibody (on my request). The last few days if I had some time I started installing Gentoo on a second partition.

The installation itself is easy enough, it's the configuration of the box that is hell. Especially as not all the drivers are already ported.

Status:

  • with nvidia-drivers Xorg does work
  • the wireless works
  • wired works
  • trackpad works (but no scroll, no double finger,...) mainly due to the appletouch driver not recognizing the model
  • sound does not work
  • bluetooth not tested
  • sleep not yet installed/tested
As you can see still a bit of work needed. I'm going to patch the appletouch myself don't think it should be a big hassle...
