Hello,

I also have the same problem on my 15" PowerBook5,6. Runnning a
2.6.12-rc4 kernel with CONFIG_I2C_KEYWEST=y. Still, the keyboard
illumination tabs in powerprefs are disabled and the backlight is not
working with a configured pbbuttonsd.

I would love if you got this working!

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
