<> For details about installing go here: [[MacBookAir2-1/Precise]] (link to [[MacBookAir2-1/Karmic]] is dead) = General = * Lucid LiveCD boots fine without any specific boot parameters. * Lucid runs much faster out of the box than Karmic * Touchpad seems to work better = Video = * Resolution is incorrect (not 1280x800) with default binary hardware drivers. * Download the latest binary driver from the nvidia website and * External displays work with Nvidia's 'x server settings' tool (under the system/administration menu). = Sound = * Speaker works with Alsa version 1.0.22 (the version you get when you update Lucid), by adding the following line at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: * options snd-hda-intel model=mb5 * Speaker works with Alsa version 1.0.23. The instructions to install are found there: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/ Line-out works after adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: * options snd-hda-intel model=mba21 * Be sure to set the volume in the alsamixer * Start 'alsamixer' on a commandline and make sure no channel is muted (press 'M') and navigate with the keys. Set the volume with the keys as well. * Microphone (still) doesn't work = Touchpad = * Works without modification = Apple keys = * Volume works * Display brightness and keyboard backlight work (incl. auto-adjust), but requires you to add the [[https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/ppa|Mactel]] PPA and install pommed and additional packages from there. Reboot after installation/upgrade. = Network = * Works (both wifi-G and wifi-N)
