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.

0.7.9

This release has support for the new SysFS backlight interface introduced with kernel 2.6.18. In this context, parts of the client API were redesigned. Brightness values are transmitted as a percentage now rather than in device-dependent units. The fading mechanism was redesigned to become device independent. See the Changelog and manual pages for full details. Client programmers should adapt their programs as soon as possible. Please have also a look at the chapter "Kernel Configuration" in the man page.
