Perfect, thanks. I have now X11 and Debian running. :-) (just with
fglrx, not with synaptics).

What is missing in the page is more information on how to build our own
kernel, with the specified patches. All the things that I have try has
result in a problem at boot. Most of the time, the boot seems ok, but
the screen is scrambled, and I can't read anything. What I have do is:

- get the stock kernel 2.6.17.8
- get and apply all the patches from the svn
- get the config from the 2.6.17-2-686 kernel of the debian Installer
etch beta 3.

I suspect that some of the patches must not be applyed for Macbook Pro,
but I don't know which.

So, what is the better way to build a correct kernel for a Macbook Pro ?
Getting from the stock kernel, and apply some patches ? Getting sources
from Debian ? Also, what is missing is a sample config file for
compiling the kernel for the Macbook Pro (maybe attaching a .config in
the wiki.debian.org/MacBookPro will be great).

Thanks for your help.

Have a nice day.

Olivier
