Hi fellows,
The first release candidate for the upcomming pbbuttonsd version 0.8.0
is out.
It includes support for the new Intel-base Apple MacBooks and MacBook
Pros. LCD and keyboard backlight control, ambient light sensor with
automaticThis is the release candidate one for the upcomming 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.
Furthermore this release got a new configuration file format, that
follows a standard from freedesktop.org. It is very similar to the old
one but the file handling is completely done by the glib now. The
configuration file has been renamed to pbbuttonsd.cnf to keep the old
one during installation.
Some configuration options were removed and a few others have been
renamed. If you need special configuration, please have a look at the
default configuration file in the package.
In this context I would like to reduce the amount of configuration
options a bit. Candidates for this are the key definitions for
brightness and volume control because the keys are well defined and the
kernel provide symbolic names for the keycodes. Has anybody redefined
the brightness or volume control keys on his machine?
A few small bugfixes complete this release.
Please test this release and tell me any problems you may find.
Especially feedback regarding the new MacBook support is very welcome.
