I applied the patch (manually) to the 2.6.35 Kernel from Debian (experimental),
but it had no effect. I don't feel comfortable fiddling around with the values
for "gpio->line" without having the slightest idea what this would or should
cause. The value in your patch was "7", so there would still be 5 possibilities
left to try?

No, I don't have on (yet). But I'm now trying to buy one second-hand on eBay. I
don't feel like spending € 19 on the adapter from Apple, but apart from testing
for "nouveau" I might need the adapter later in case my iMac spends his last
years at my mum's place, as a combined internet machine and DVD player. If I
should get the adapter (i.e. no-one else gives a higher bid in the next week)
it would still take a few more days until it could be here. But the coming week
I'll be on holidays anyway.
