keyboard backlight working on PowerBook5,6?
Guys,
I was a little surprised to see that the backlight on the keyboard is not working with pbbuttonsd on my 1.67GHz PowerBook G4. I had a 15" 1.25GHz PowerBook G4 working with pbbuttonsd 0.5.x (iirc) that controlled the keyboard quite well back around June last year. Is it working for anyone else? I have tried using both gtkpbbuttons and gtkpbbuttons-gnome. With either one, the powerprefs keyboard controls are disabled. I have also tried version 0.6.10-1 of pbbuttonsd from experimental.
gtkpbbuttons 0.6.7-1
gtkpbbuttons-gnome 0.6.7-1
pbbuttonsd 0.6.9-1/0.6.10-1
I also tried editing my /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf file to reflect the 68 + ctrl, 67 + ctrl, and 66 + ctrl reflected in Johannes' sample on his wiki and restarting pbbuttonsd. No backlight appears and powerprefs still shows those areas as greyed out. I am running a 2.6.11.10 kernel, with a config that matches most of what others on the list had shared with me. Any input would be appreciated. Google searches mostly turned up a couple of entries from last summer when Federico Gamio had originally helped me get that feature working. Apologies in advance if I have overlooked something.
Regards,
