Same problem with keyboard. Model: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)

New macbook's have SPI keyboard that not supported officially in Linux.
Here the work-in-progress driver cb22/macbook12-spi-driver#49

I add this driver in testing build.
Try this one please: OneFileLinux_macbook-spi-keyboard-driver.zip

It will have small font size, ignore this issue.

Okay. Now we need to figure out how to automatically check what version of macbook we have while boot. Because macbook12 2015 need different drivers set.

Script should do:

1. Check if booting on macbook
2. If macbook12 2015 — load one driver
3. If macbook 2016-2017 — load another driver

[zhovner]

Done. New script /etc/init.d/macbook automatically check hardware version and loads necessary drivers. Also font size fixed.

Now you can change font size with command: fontsize 9
