G3	10.0 (PPC)
	10.2 (PPC)
	10.3 (PPC)
Remark		10.0: (C) If closed at runtime, it enters into sleep mode. However waking up does not work (e.g. keyboard does not respond). It answers pings, but does not accept ssh connections. () CD eject key: () See Issues and iBook G3. 10.2: See iBook G3 10.2. (C) Serious issues. For example, closing the lid while the GDM login screen is displayed, crashes the system with sig 11. See Bug-226081, Bug-226427, and Bug-222045. Workaround: Uninstall the `powersave` package. 10.3: see iBook G3 10.3. (C) Serious issues. See Bug-305154. A new kernel from here (as of 2008-01-09) seems to fix this bug.
G4	10.2 (PPC)
Remark		(6) Wireless works with closed source firmware See here.

polycabonate Rev.A-E	10.3 (x86)
	11.0 (x86)
	12.2 (x86)
	12.3 (x86)
Remark		10.3: (C) Everything works (lid, battery, etc.). Suspend to ram works (even with Desktop Effects) but only if the X server started correctly on the first try at boot. If you got a "gdm was unable to start your X server, retry" text screen, suspend to ram fails due to issues in the "intel" graphics driver. (6) Using Madwifi. (10) Add "ath_pci" to `/etc/pm/config` in `SUSPEND_MODULES` to make wifi work after suspend to ram. (12) IR Remote works out of the box. lirc now suppports it using the "macmini" driver. () CD eject key: () iSight: () Backlight: () Sensors works out of the box, However, new kernel has an improved applesmc driver for non-Pro Macbooks. () Bootloader: GRUB or LILO can be installed only AFTER the installation as the MBR partition table gets "cleared" during setup. refit's gptsync tool then booting into the installed system helped. 11.0: (4) With the latest ALSA drivers. (6) Using Madwifi. () CD eject key: () iSight: () Backlight: () Bootloader: GRUB or LILO can be installed only AFTER the installation as the MBR partition table gets "cleared" during setup. refit's gptsync tool then booting into the installed system helped. 12.2: (4) Out-of-the-box (8) Out-of-the-box (9) Out-of-the-box (10) Out-of-the-box (11) Out-of-the-box () CD eject key: install package pommed () iSight: requires Apple firmware extracted with iSight Firmware Tools () Backlight Fn-F1 / Fn-F2: Out-of-the-box () Volume Fn-F3 / Fn-F4 / Fn-F5: Out-of-the-box () Bootloader: rEFIt required, GRUB2 works after that. OS X is not needed for rEFIt installation if boot CD is used. 12.3: (6) Automatic detection failed during installation, manually adding wireless interface (without specifying a driver) added ath5k succesfully
Macbook Pro

	11.2 (x86_64)
	11.4 (x86_64)
	12.2 (x86_64)
	12.3 (x86_64)
Remark		11.1: () Keyboard, TouchPad, iSight not properly works. () Used reFIT for partitioning and keeping the MacOS. 11.2: () Macbook pro mid 2009. Follow this How To. 11.4: () Macbook pro mid 2009. Follow this How To. 12.2: () WiFi required a manual install of the broadcom driver, since the default setup (legacy driver) showed a horrible performance and range. () PommeD had to be installed manually to get hardware key reactions. 12.3: (*) Everything worked out-of-the-box: impressive
