ELEMENTARY #111

Just a small comment to say that the driver seems to be working for Elementary OS. You just need to follow the steps for Ubuntu. At the end of the installation, I had to type depmod -a sudo modprobe facetimehd and it seems to be running smoothly.

Note : dmesg still gives the known issue : [ 4477.285182] facetimehd 0000:02:00.0: firmware: facetimehd/1871_01XX.dat will not be loaded

Hello, is this an issue or an success report? :)

The error "Direct firmware load for facetimehd/1871_01XX.dat failed with error -2" is harmless.

I just wonder, why you didn't need to sudo before "depmod -a" ..

This is a success :). I first wrote an issue, then double checked the threads and remarked it was in fact working after adding the depmod commands. All was done after sudo su, so that I forgot adding it in my thread.

I wanted to change the title or even discard the issue, but I couldn't...

My main intention was to advertise that Elementary OS could be done following the guidelines for Ubuntu + the depmod commands...

Thanks for the hard work, Very best regards, Pierre Weiss
