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.

0.7.4

This release has support for the ambient light sensor and the keyboard illumination of the latest 15" and 17" Powerbooks. The keyboard mode of USB keyboards can be set the same way as for ADB keyboards, as long as you use kernel 2.6.16 or later. As the first big step towards major future enhancements, the main loop and the input device management of pbbuttonsd was moved to glib. This change is the basis for moving pbbuttonsd's IPC system towards dbus-1, and to implement a dynamically loadable module system for user space device drivers (USDD).
