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-rc1

This is the release candidate one for the upcoming pbbuttonsd version 0.8.0. It includes support for the new Intel-base Apple MacBooks and MacBook Pros. LCD and keyboard backlight control, ambient light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment, and basic ACPI support should work. The new configuration file follows a standard from freedesktop.org. It is very similar to the old one, but the file handling is completely done by glib now. The configuration file has been renamed to pbbuttonsd.cnf. A few small bugfixes complete this release.
