The fix for this is detailed here, and this should be carried by us as it currently does not work. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/16/284 Workaround: load the module by other means, either on-demand with modprobe or by adding the line to /etc/modules 2) G-P-M gets confused by the phoney MacBook Laptop Panel HAL device (that is actually dead since the addon providing its services doesn't work for NVidia). Upstream HAL received this fix to only spawn this for the relevant models. http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commitdiff;h=95bd4f1bf9a62f1551461841d64f6f1cdea6a92e Workaround: comment out the <spawn> element for the laptop panel in the file.
