In the end managed to get everything working including wifi. Its my first linux-laptop so I have no previous experience, but wifi seems to be working a bit better on osx. On linux it looses ranger more often.
Now I'm working to get mouseemu + pommed to work with each other in console....
]]>you don't need to compile the fwcutter though, just use the standard package (same version...)
it works with the stock kernel, although i had to reboot and manually set up the connection in networkmanager...
]]>I commended out all the edevd rules:
#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
# MatchIsPointer "on"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Driver "evdev"
#EndSectionSection "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event6"
#MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard___Trackpad-event-kbd"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
# MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Driver "evdev"
#EndSection#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
# MatchIsTablet "on"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Driver "evdev"
#EndSection#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
# MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Driver "evdev"
#EndSection
and tried every driver. Explicit pointing to mouse input event (example):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Multitouch Touchpad"
Driver "multitouch"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event8"
#MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Apple_Inc._Apple_Internal_Keyboard___Trackpad-event-mouse"
EndSection
mtrack and multitouch were loaded without any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. (X log with mtrack http://pastie.org/2623298)
synaptics reported the same error as described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=995301
in the end the trackpad did not work at all with any of those drivers.
When I uncomment all edevd the trackpad is detected as pointer what sounds similar to this problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103953.
With edevd only thing that works is "moving" the pointer and the left click.
Things that refuse to cooperate are:
wireless Broadcom 4331 rev2
I tried installing newest b43 driver but with present kernel module simply wont load, apart from that no ideas
in kernel 3.2 it is supposed to work.
multitouch
tried all what wiki has to offer no use.
multimedia keys:
regardless of value in sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
all the keys are seen as F1...F12 and Fn button seems to have no effect.
if anyone has working 8.* mac with any of above things I would appreciate some advice - I myself am out of ideas ;(

bottom line is that guys from ubuntu seems to have most of the stuff working so I guess it is possible:
