Package: pbbuttonsd
Version: 0.7.2-1

While researching function key breakage on my post-Oct 2005 Powerbok G4
15", I have come a few times across the following problem:

On start, either initial on boot, or afterwards, pbbuttonsd is blocked.
ps reports this:

root     10095  0.0  0.1   3776  1024 pts/0    D+   22:03   0:00 
/usr/bin/pbbuttonsd --configfile=/etc/pbbuttonsd.conf -d

i.e process state D+. According to man ps:

  D    Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)

According to lsof, the last file opened by pbbuttonsd is an i2c device:

pbbuttons 10095        root    3r      CHR      13,66             750269 
/dev/input/event2
pbbuttons 10095        root    4r      CHR      13,67             750271 
/dev/input/event3
pbbuttons 10095        root    5u      CHR     10,154             750874 
/dev/pmu
pbbuttons 10095        root    6u      CHR       56,0             750316 
/dev/adb
pbbuttons 10095        root    7u      CHR       89,5             750881 
/dev/i2c-5

I don't know what i2c-5 corresponds to, but it's not the keyboard
backlight pbbuttonsd is looking for (which is directly on PMU)

The problem doesn't happen all the time. I found no indication what
reaveals it. I have not observed it on version 0.7.3-5g which I used for
the keyboard backlight.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Maybe it would be best to try and find in advance where to look for the
keyboard backlight device, maybe based on model info from /proc/cpuinfo.

Thanks

Michel
