Touchbar doesn't work on MBP13,3 15''
Jemmy1228 opened this issue · 2 comments
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 with kernel 4.15.0-43-generic on MBP13,3 15'' (with touchbar)
Basic keyboard input works after installing this driver. However the touchbar and Fn key don't work, the touchbar shows nothing, and the backlit keyboard doesn't light up, just as if the computer is shutdown.
And I find that sometimes mouse clicks automatically when typing, I really don't know why ..?
Thank you very much!
Below is some info about my issue:

See the note near the top of the README: since you're running a pre-4.16 kernel you'll need to check out the legacy branch. Alternatively in your case, and probably the better solution, install and boot a more recent Ubuntu HWE kernel.
Opps! I really missed that sentence 😅
Sorry about that .... ThankU
