santa rosa macbook pro in feisty/gutsy

[Brian Barnes]

Hello,

I am wondering, are the new santa rosa chipset macbook pros expected or hoped 
to be working smoothly "out of the box" with gutsy?  There are currently many 
known bugs at ubuntuforums.org that are not reported in launchpad.  These 
mainly focus around sound (doesn't work), suspend (ditto), and fan speed 
control (missing in gutsy; a heat concern).  Sound seems to be particularly 
troublesome; even recompiling a new alsa did not work for the people I've seen 
discuss the issue.

These three threads summarize the situation (mostly w/ feisty):

There are also many untriaged bugs in launchpad dealing with older versions of 
the MB/MBP.  One report involving a new MBP from the start of June discusses 
not being able to boot from gutsy tribe 1 live cd (probably a video issue, as 
he could boot from alternate).  Anyway, I appreciate everyone's work on 
ubuntu and mac/intel hardware.  :)

thanks for reading,

Brian
