Ok so I got my new macbook pro yesterday :D and I will be using leopard as my primary mose used OS however I am a video games 3d modeller and I need windows for 3dsmax and some gaming.

Today I attempted using bootcamp and installed windows 7 RC 64x. So far everything is running fine.. except I cant get the backlight in the keyboard to work and the control keys for brightness and volume control just dont work nor does the eject button.

I installed the drivers from the osx disk as it said to do. Can anyone help me out? Iv been trying to find info on this for the past hour and I just find threads that come to dead ends with anything to do with the key control problems...

You need the x64 Bootcamp drivers available on Apple's site. Once you install those all your function keys should work.

OP, Did you get this to work?
I'm having the same issues and can't seem to locate the specific drivers on Apple's website.
Any help would be appreciated.

Oh HEY!! I found you the solution - read the first half of this page

You can find the x64 drivers there (RapidShare) which is awesome, as well as step by step instructions :).
