I will do it like Jeramy in gkrellm-pmud so I would benefit from any of your future changes. > Well, the daemon will still be needed to get the "special" keys on OHare > based powerbooks as I think those don't come via ADB. Good point. The PMU has two command regarding the volume and brightness buttons. Do you have any information about this commands? I think they are for machines that wouldn't send this keys via the keyboard as you explained in one of our first emails. Would there be a chance to use those commands to get the keys also on Powerbooks that don't support the button device? That would extend the usability of pbbuttons on older Powerbooks.
