## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running Linux on the MacBook Air 4,2 and have any of the following problems,
|
||
|
|
this article is for you:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* FN key not working / modifying keys
|
||
|
|
* Touchpad not working in Multitouch mode
|
||
|
|
* Resolution is 1280x800 instead of 1440x900
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Touchpad and Keyboard
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In Jiris [for-next branch](http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git;a=summary)
|
||
|
|
of the hid tree the keyboard and touchpad issues have been solved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Screen resolution
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keith fixed the screen resolution issues in his tree that you can retrieve:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git clone -b fix-edp-vdd-power git://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting both fixes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Until the changes are merged into Linus' tree, I've setup a tree that merged the
|
||
|
|
two previous ones:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [gitweb](http://git.schottelius.org/?p=foreign/linux-keith-jiri-mba;a=summary)
|
||
|
|
* git://git.schottelius.org/foreign/linux-keith-jiri-mba
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've used the config.gz from Archlinux as base for .config and added the
|
||
|
|
new config options, which resulted in a
|
||
|
|
[working .config for the MacBook Air](dot-config).
