Hello Rolando,
I'm not a specialist about NVIDIA driver, I guess that NVIDIA can fix
this issue, but I also guess that Linux on NVIDIA Mac computer is not
their priority, we may are very few people (I use macbook pro retina
15.5' on linux too). And since issue is not a major issue, because
without this fixed you can use you computer, I Think we cannot expect
NVIDIA fix this soon.
So to fix this we have to find a work around, but my knowledge are
limited :D. Use sun glasses ? :D
For final words, if you don't plan to play rich graphical stuff, you can
use nouveau driver (which do not have this issue). In current
development branch, hardware acceleration is enable for GeForce 650M and
seems that it will be available for kernel 3.8. note that nouveau
support of GeForce 650M accelerated or not is young, probably since
kernel 3.7.
Best regards.

Hi Benoit,
thanks for the quick reply and help.
Sorry forgot to mention that, yes I am using the Nvidia driver.
You are right, after suspend it does work.
Got this message after suspend, "apple-gmux 00:07: System wakeup
disabled by ACPI"
If this is the case, this explain your issue probably. NVIDIA driver
seems disable gmux chips.
Also right:), if I shutdown and power up, the apple-gmux reports
device not present.
But if I do a reboot then it shows up.
We will have to wait for a nvidia patch (while using the proprietary
driver), right?
Thanks again,
Rolando

Hello Rolando,
I found that if you turn you computer in stanby (suspend to RAM) and turn it
on again, gmux work again.
I didn't found a way ot enable this behaviour at boot.
Best regards

Hi,
I am currently experienced problems with the apple_gmux driver
while using a MBP retina 10,1.
System description & behavior:
-Ubuntu 13.04 with kernel 3.8-rc4.
-dmesg: apple_gmux: Found gmux version 3.2.19 [indexed]
-Under /sys/class/backlight I only have gmux_backlight.
-Under gmux_backlight both actual and max brightness are equal to 2^24
= 16777216,
while brightness value is within [0,1023] (the value can be changed)
-The backlight is dimmed throughout the boot process and remains the
same,
without being possible to adjust it.
If the following hack is applied then full brightness can be achieved,
however it remains nonadjustable.
#define HACK_VALUE 1023
...
In gmux_probe() :
...
props.max_brightness = gmux_read32(gmux_data,
GMUX_PORT_MAX_BRIGHTNESS);
//hack
props.max_brightness = HACK_VALUE;
....
bdev->props.brightness = gmux_get_brightness(bdev);
//hack
bdev->props.brightness = HACK_VALUE;
Does anybody have a clue to solve this problem?
Thanks for the help,
Rolando
