macbook air/macbook pro penryn touchpad (bcm5974)

lloeki · 2008-07-01 22:39:50

I've made a PKGBUILD for this driver (which replaces touchd). I will make it available, along with a repo with some prebuilt packages.

see the home page for details, here: http://web.comhem.se/rydberg/Bits/

The driver (bcm5974) has been merged to the latest kernel (2.6.27).

lloeki, would you mind uploading your synaptics-mactel package to AUR? I can do it if you don't want to. Thank you for the package, btw.

I have no input at all coming from my trackpad, it's a macbook pro 4,1 (penryn). I have absolutely no idea what to do here, I tried saving the PKGBUILD to a local directory and running makepkg on it, and it gave me an error:

==> ERROR: Install scriptlet (synaptics.install) does not exist.

Any help here?

EDIT: I was trying the second PKGBUILD, since it was mentioned that the first was incorporated into the kernel.
