problem coming back from blanking the screen

[Joost K. <joo...@fa...>]

hi,

i'm having a problem with screen-blanking. if i set the option
onAC_TimerAction and/or onBattery_TimerAction to 'blankscreen', pbbuttons
nicely blanks the screen after the interval i've set. however, it does not
respond to key presses or mouse movements to unblank the screen. the only
way to unblank the screen is to press Fn-F1, Fn-F2 (i usually have to press
them both, in any order).

since i'm not running the latest version of pbbuttonsd (0.7.8), i
downloaded 0.8.0 and tried to compile that. it bombed out with the
following error, however:

my system:

iBook G3 800MHz

	(this is the stock Slackintosh kernel)
pbbuttonsd: 0.7.8

any other info i should provide?

ps: when you do a google search for pbbuttonsd, the first link points to
<http://pbbuttons.sourceforge.net/projects/pbbuttonsd/>, which appears to
be the old homepage. the download section has version 0.7.2 as the
latest. perhaps it would be a good idea to replace this page with a redirect?
