Garcia wrote: Along those same lines, I have a sugesstion for the gtk client for pbbuttons. The program should use the X keycodes rather than associate with the daemon that controls the hardware. This serves two purposes: X handles any client/server mess, and the GUI will be the system independant figurehead it should be (IMO). Bastien wrote a similar program that uses the keycodes, so it could be used on any system with the keys, even an x86. (hadess.net) Now, I dont know if this is a problem or not but please note that the "dim the lcd after inactivity" -kind of stuff should not rely on X screen being active. I mean, if I use MOL for example the keyboard activity happens on the console - resulting a dimmed display in a moment if one monitors for X keyboard stuff. Which is rather annoying.
