MacBook Air 2013 Facetime camera not working #481

zampemo commented 4 years ago

I've been using the Brunch project for the last days and I'm actually enjoying it. I've installed it as the sole OS on my old Air, the entire SSD is for it with no leftovers of macOS (I had used Ubuntu before it and to create the SD/USB installer to first try it).

The only issue it seems I'm encountering is that the Facetime camera isn't working. I have to say that it wasn't working also when I tried CloudReady OS from Neverware a year ago (based on Chromium OS), as well as on any Linux distro BUT there it's possible to install the missing driver and make it work.

I'm asking if it's possible to make it work here too. This Mac has an Intel i5-4250U (4th gen, Haswell), so I've used the "rammus" recovery image as I think it's the best suited for this laptop (haven't tried "samus" or others though).

Thanks for this amazing project anyways!

Hi,

Unfortunately, I am sorry to say that only usb cameras are supported in chromeos recovery images and the facetime one is pcie as far as I can tell.
