(*) Notes and recipes

Correct volume

  • Ubuntu GNU/Linux 5.10 (Breezy Badger): I tried to play a CD, and initially volume was very low (not to mention that the CD volume is somewhy controled by "PCM" channel). One may want to uncheck DRC tick and maximize DRC mono channel for best results. To do that, one must turn on those controls in mixed prefs first.

''Fn'' Special keys (bright, volume)

  • Ubuntu GNU/Linux 5.10 (Breezy Badger): Default behaviour of Fn-keys is not the same as in OS X. Their primary and secondary functions are reversed. However, this is more common with other laptops.

Live-CD boots until desktop

To boot on an Apple Macintosh from CD, you must maintain the [Alt] key pressed
