I have spare 15inch Macbook 2016 which I would like to turn into linux machine Model identifier (MacBookPro13.3) without T2 chip. Since I want machine to remain a bit portable would be good to have touchbar working since there is no physical ESC button. Initially I tried prepared ISO from https://foolcontrol.org/?p=2952 and touchbar was working fine, however it has old Ubuntu version, old kernel and it is ubuntu.
My install of manjaro was completely fresh, updated everything, updated kernel to 6.4.9 installed dkms and installed:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/macbook12-spi-driver-dkms
added ```
MODULES=(applespi intel_lpss_pci spi_pxa2xx_platform)
apple_ib_tb is shown in the lsmod. Dkms status also return that it is installed (also shows that original exists, not sure if it is bad thing).
However while keyboard and touchbar works out of the box even without this module, I was not able to get touchbar working. I checked dmesg but nothing suspicious. How can I troubleshoot this issue?
