Mint 17 on 2013 Macbook Air

Raw

mint17mba.md

Backlight

Install https://github.com/patjak/mba6x_bl

Add xorg config (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf):

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "Backlight"  "mba6x_backlight"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Add mba6x_bl to /etc/modules

EFI boot order

sudo apt-get install efibootmgr

sudo efibootmgr to check current boot order, will look somewhat like this:

BootOrder: 0080
Boot0000* ubuntu
Boot0080* 
BootFFFF*

If 'ubuntu' (which is Mint's EFI identifier) isn't first, change the boot order sudo efibootmgr -o 0
