Project Description

PBButtons is a daemon to handle special hardware
on laptops such as Apple PowerBooks and MacBooks.
It controls the display brightness, the sound
volume, mutes the sound, changes the trackpad
mode, puts the machine to sleep, or ejects the
CDROM on command. It also provides basic power
management features. An included client gives the
user visual feedback about all actions with nice
little popup windows.

0.8.0

This release adds support for Apple's MacBooks and
MacBook Pros. This includes support for LCD and
keyboard backlight control, ambient light sensor
with automatic brightness adjustment, and basic
ACPI support. Furthermore, the automatic
brightness controller was replaced by a new one.
The new model results in a more precise brightness
adjustment and is easier and more flexible to
configure. This release uses a new configuration
file which is called pbbuttonsd.cnf and follows a
standard format from freedesktop.org. A whole
bunch of bugs were fixed.
