There re any way to remove completely macOS, and install bsenlab? This may be a simple matter, but it doesn't sleep properly out of the box. The last big item is getting power management configured.

I don't know what the heck I would do with all of my free time if I had a linux friendly laptop, though. Unfortunately most of the tutorials relating to anciient macbooks are several years out of date. My initial efforts were using xmodset, which I think has been deprecated. I use I3 as my window manager, which has complicated my experiments.

I want to remap the eject key to be a delete key. or maybe arch, but have not been successful, yet. I spent some time trying to do this in Fedora. I want to enable 'control-click' to emulate a right click. For all of OS X's problems, it handles the trackpad perfectly. I've tried dozens of different settings using synaptics as well as the mtrack driver. If you were running ubuntu on your mac I'm sure you can relate. The default bunsen settings have the sensitivity where i like it, and it actually has a reasonably functional 'right click' (a first). I'm not happy with the trackpad under any flavor of linux. I did not experience any noticeable problems, though. controller not found.' This was not as high on my priority list, so I only scanned a few relevant looking pages that seemed to suggest it was USB related. I don't have my notes right now, but remember something like '1804. There is an error message at startup that I have not tackled, yet. If it weren't for devonthink and a couple of other apps I would probably wipe OS X. Currently, OS X is still bootable by holding down the option key at startup. I used refind with both Fedora and Arch, booting linux directly from refind (no grub, no lilo). It seems like this has been problematic for recent versions of OS X. I haven't done anything about this, yet, other than search for solutions. It works flawlessly for booting linux OS X not so much. The debian installer put grub 2 on my efi partition, over-writing refind. If interested, here are some of the unresolved items on my to-do list: Aptitude handled everything automatically, and I was able to boot into BL with no further issues. It then presented an alternative solution (a different kernel), which I accepted. ' Aptitude actually tries to resolve issues, and it proposed a solution that I rejected.

After spinning my wheels with the issue for several hours I simply did a driver install with 'aptitude install. Apt threw out errors relating to 'held packages' that I struggled to clear. Installing the proper driver was not as easy as I expected, either. This let me boot into bunsen without the nvidia driver. From the Grub 2 boot menu I had to select bunsen and edit the boot options (hit e and replace 'quiet' with 'noheadtest'). I could not boot directly into BL, because the legacy nvidia driver I needed was not installed (the MBP 5.4 requires the 340XX legacy driver). HOWEVER, as you know macbooks are very fussy where linux is concerned.
