Christopher (chrisjp), who took on our Macbook bounty (the requested bounty sum has been met), wrote us an update to how his work is progressing. We may add, that through this bounty, additional hardware/laptops may also benefit. For example, Haikuware user clebin's Fujitsu-Siemens laptop has similar hardware to the Macbook.

"The port is coming along well. I finished up adding support for the internal display in the intel_extreme driver. It works nicely in native mode (1280x800) and I'll be sending along the patches to the mailinglist this week. I updated makebootable to support building to a partition entirely from within OSX, so that was a big help in development. I started working on the ISight driver and got some functionality going in uhci, but it isn't completely functional, since I didn't realize the ehci(usb 2.0 high speed) driver was lacking isochronous transfers so that is something I will have to add in. Right now i'm working on the hda/sigmatel part of the port, and hopefully should have basic sine wave playback going soon. I haven't had a chance to narrow down the keyboard/touchpad usb bug, but I do have some areas where I suspect we maybe having troubles. If any of you have a macbook and are able to test natively (i.e. install to a partition) please let me know."
