Package: mbpeventd
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
To change the keyboard backlight (on a MacBook pro) the applesmc kernel
module must be loaded. Unfortunately this module is not yet provided in
the vanilla Linux kernel and is available from
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mactel-linux/trunk/kernel/mactel-patches-2.6.18/applesmc.patch?view=log
I know the problem is not really with mbpeventd but with the Debian kernel.
This bug is a reminder that the mbpeventd can't be fully used with
Debian Linux kernel linux-image-2.6.18-3-686
Maybe the Debian package could contain insructions on how to build the
applesmc kernel module for a Debian kernel? I will try to built it
myself and comment in this bug report.
Thanks,

This is now fixed with the 2.6.22 kernel images.
