This program wouldn't exists if not some people wrote other programs
from which I learned how special things worked. I can't name all of them
so I picked those out, whose programs I could call the 'parents' of
PBButtons:
keyevd from Joseph P. Garcia <jpgarcia@execpc.com>
ikeyd from Stefan Pfetzing <dreamind@dreamind.de>
Description : Make Apple PowerBook special keys working as expected...
PBButtons is a programm suite to handle the special hotkeys of an Apple
iBook, Powerbook or TiBook.
With this programms the keys for the display brightness, the volume of
speaker and headphone, the mute key and the eject key will do their job
as expected.
The main part of PBButtons is the daemon pbbuttonsd which work as a
server that do all the work. It runs in background and is preferable
started at boot time. Multiple clients could register themselves to get
messages about events from the server.
One of the clients is gtkpbbuttons. It displays small GTK popup windows
each time a message from the daemon pbbuttonsd appeares.
