Not exactly that issue, but the the "dim down when not active" works this way
with my pb. however if you close to blind, if not in bright light (or know
exactly what to write (witch is /etc/init.d/pbbuttonsd restart) at console)
<- no use continuing the sentence since my point is written.
That fixes it for the time being. Comment the corresponding line in
pbbuttons.conf to be rid of the problem.
On the other hand, whats wrong? dunno. maby it stops taking the adb kbd or
usb/bt mouse as input/movement (witch happened once'n while with my x86
compute).
Now if you do not set the "dim console to" option, you can switch to console
and that part should work as normal.
UseFBBlank = yes/no <- this one I think.
