Hello! I'm afraid that my experience was not so good on my libreboot + MacBook2,1 system. Previously, I also had the forever-suspend problem in Gnome 3 while it was working fine in Xfce. After building from master a few hours ago, however, I was faced with a black screen and was forced to do a hard shutdown.
Now, the manual shutdown appears to have corrupted the file system on my fully encrypted disk because libreboot's GRUB fails to decrypt the drive. More precisely I get the following error: > Failed to decrypt master key. > error: access denied > error: disk `crypto0' not found. > error: you need to load the kernel first. Fortunately I didn't have any valuable data on the disk. Regarding the media keys I could make the following observations before the system became unbootable: * Brightness controls didn't work in GNOME's control panel logged in as user. It did worked when logged in as root however. * Brightness controls worked in Xfce. * Resume after suspend had stopped working in Xfce after having worked before the more recent power-management commits. * In the same manner sound controls had stopped working in Xfce. * Audio controls were working in GNOME. It's amaaaazing how things can break some times :) Anyway, I hope the above information will be of some use in the future. I will now install Parabola on the MacBook2,1 but keep GuixSD on my desktop computer. Happy hacking!
