I'd be interested to know what essential MacBook Pro features are not a part
of the current unpatched release kernel. I'm still running one of the
relatively early MBP patch sets (2.6.16 or 17) at work, and I'd like to
upgrade to a newer setup. If at all possible, I would like to run an
unpatched kernel when I do decide to upgrade.

Here's what I have in my notebook:

probably some superseeded by better/updated sites.

I share the same feelings, I would like to understand better which of
mactel patches are needed for:
- Macmini
- Macbook
- MacbookPro
- All of them

and also, things like:
- usb-storage-zerowait.patch

and check which patches can be submitted to mainline, for 2.6.21,
which are part of 2.6.20rcX ?..


Currently I'm running a 2.6.18.4 (with mactel patches), in my 1st
generation Macbook Pro  suspend2ram nor suspend to disk work. (I'm
also using ATI fgrlx driver + madwifi).
Isn't this supposed to work by now? Or am I missing something ?



Best regards,

It looks like no patches are really required on a mini with 2.6.20-rc,
at least that's my experience (I don't boot via EFI and also didn't
test audio in, yet).

However, if you need the additional features that are provided by some
of the patches, you still have to apply them. That yould be:

coretemp.patch
applesmc.patch
ir.patch

I think that the following patches are obsolete with 2.6.20-rc:

piix.ich7.patch (switch to libata and disable the whole IDE stuff)
sigmatel_audio.patch (at least on my mini)
usb-storage-zerowait.patch (doesn't look mactel specific, what it is for?)

I don't know about the other patches. Maybe some of them are already in
the vanilla kernel.
