 |
|
Hi All,
My company has been kind enough (or mean enough) to provide me with a MacBook Pro (8.2, late 2011) for work.
I followed this wiki article for the installation: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Apple_Macbook_Pro
There are still a lot of things that are not working, but the most important is the Touchpad.
Xorg.0.log

So, the correct module/driver is being loaded but I don't know what to do with this 'No space left on device' error. I've found this topic in the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-897626-view-next.html?sid=c36d5a4afa88dcf67fe48075314f8520
There the same error was solved by activating "Improved Transaction Translator scheduling" and "Root Hub Transaction Translators" under "EHCI HCD(USB 2.0) support" in the USB section of the kernel configuration. This didn't work for me.
I'm using genkernel at the moment, because I wanted to get the system up and running before compiling my own kernel. Could it be that genkernel fails to handle some Apple specific settings correctly?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Patrick

Since you linked my thread, I might as well tell you, my touchpad is working, albeit I'm using the mtrack driver (xf86-input-mtrack in portage). I just got 3finger swiping to work, yesterday, so everything except 4finger swiping currently works for me.
Edit, now that I read over the documentation again, somehow 3&4 finger swiping are both linked to the same buttons, guess that is an error, so I'll try to remap the buttons later and see if that'll work.

| Touchpad works now after I compile the Kernel myself. I have no idea what went wrong with genkernel... |
