I just installed arch onto my macbook and just a few minor problems that need fixed.
If possible, can you make tap-clicks and two-finger scolls, etc. possible on the trackpad? I followed the wiki but it didn't help.
Also, I'm trying to get a sepeate keyboard layout (colemak), to start up at the login screen. I followed the instructions on xorg.conf on their website, but again, no luck. Does anyone have a working setup?

Oh, another thing I noticed. My wifi seems to flicker on and off...like for 10 seconds it'll be on...the next 10 seconds it'll go off...etc. etc.

That's what I have in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "colemak"

What version macbook? I have a 2,1 (Aug 2007), AR5008 chip (from lspci -v). Here's my script for getting online; my connection drops every couple days:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Unloading ath9k..."
sudo rmmod ath9k
echo "Loading ath9k..."
sudo modprobe ath9k
echo "Setting essid..."
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid tomato
echo "Running DHCP..."
sudo dhcpcd wlan0

About tap-clicks and so on:
This is a part of my xorg.conf responsible for that:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "true"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
Option "TapButton3" "2"
EndSection
This makes two-finger tap the right button and three-finger tap the middle button (although my MacBook is the old, pre-multitouch one!). Also, it unlocks horizontal two-finger scrolling, vertical was, at least on my MacBook c2d, enabled by default.
Anyway, anyone managed to make 'prolonged' drag and drop? I mean a drag using only very touchpad, not its button, during which you can raise finger for a while and can continue (very comfortable for dragging something from one screen edge to the other). I got used to it so much that now i always drop things before time.
