Apple released 1.1.2 of Boot Camp on Wednesday.
Fixes mainly aimed at the keyboard and mouse along with the USB modem.
I don't have the USB modem, so I can't talk to that.
On the mouse, they added true right click and scrolling support.
Net, yes both are there now, but the mouse pointer now has issues, stability.
The mouse seems to have better overall control especially for fine selections, but it will start to act up over time. Seemingly gets confused as to whether it's scrolling or moving across the screen. So far I have gotten control back by clicking a few times or by running my finger around the entire trackpad. This issue didn't exist with the older 1.1.1 set of drivers.
I still get a reboot issue when I execute the "brightness.exe". This is required to control the brightness of the LCD or you will stay at full brightness. Brightness exe by default will run as XP is painting the desktop. ABout 50% of the time, my machine just reboots and then comes up with no video. I took it out of startup by using a tool called Absolute Startup, (excellent software BTW). This allows me to come up clean about 80% of the time. However when I manually launch the brightness.exe about 50% of the time my machine will reboot and come up without video. When you hold the power button down to kill this reboot, the machine will come up on the screen asking if you want to boot up in safe mode.
NET to me the enviornment is not stable and more than likely I will be selling the machine.
