Thanks for this, you just helped me get sound working in my MBP SantaRosa 4,1 with Ubuntu Ibex 8.10

I should note, above you show a command as "sudo mousepad /etc/modprobe.d/options", "mousepad" is not a text editor ;) actual command should be "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options" or similar (nano, pico, joe, et al)

Sound does seem a little low to me, I read elsewhere that there is a problem with the center speaker kicking in, but not sure.

Thanks for the sound tip, saved me big time.

This worked on my MBP for running cooler, I had an overheat problem too:

Hi Davide,

I have no problems right now using Xubuntu Hardy Heron on my MBP. Everything is just flawless. The temperature is just about the same really when using it in OSX. I was wrong when I said that it's running hotter in Xubuntu because I just guesstimated it. Battery consumption is also just the same when in OSX, and I get extra minutes when I ran powertop.

Overall, I'm honestly very pleased with my MBP's performance under Xubuntu 8.04. I think you should also go for it. If you have anymore questions, feel free to email me.

Regards,

Jun

Thanks for the tips, I'm going to reboot to Hardy in a min and try it out. I've also noticed the heat thing which is a BIG issue for me right now since I'm on contract in Mali, and today it was easily 50C. (40C in the morning when I checked). Anyway, drop me a line because I'd love to dig in and figure out what the CPU deal is. Have fun traveling. Cheers

yes I have suggestions about cpu temperature,
(which means power consumption).
I asked you before about battery life but I understand you did not care too much.

I'm about to buy a mbpro, and i'd like to investigate the this w/ you. Are you on IRC, MSN, AIM or something ?
