Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
This is a small one. To enable Macbook Keyboard Backlight and Brightness control with the F# keys, this file requires some editing:
/usr/share/
Since there's no entry for the new Macbooks, whose ID is "MacBookPro3,1". You need to add this in order to make the keys work (well, they dont actually *work* as of now, but at least they get detected when you press them):
<match key="system.
<spawn udi="/org/
<spawn udi="/org/
<spawn udi="/org/
</match>
The important part is the STRING thing in the first line.

This was reported at launchpad, in Ubuntu. If this code is added the brightness controls can work.
