Package: pommed Version: 1.35~dfsg-1 Severity: normal
When I boot up my powerbook G4 1.5GHz computer, the backlit keyboard comes on around when X starts, if I am in a dark room. The keyboard controls for the brightness setting work mostly. (more on that below.) It seems as if the backlight remains functional as long as I am in the gdm3 login screen. About 16 seconds after I enter my password and login to gnome using gdm3, and about 4 or 5 seconds before the upper and lower panels display, the backlight cuts out and the hotkeys no longer enable the backlight. I tried booting up without pommed installed, and the backlight didn't work. I then installed pommed from the command line and and the keys turned on! However, they seemed to die randomly sometime later, maybe after 15 seconds, I'm not sure. The backlit keyboard works with pbbuttonsd, but there are some long-standing issues with that package, including conflicts with some other package that reads hotkey presses, so I don't use it. One weird thing with the brightness controls before I log in, is that when holding the dimming button combination, the brightness goes to zero, then up a couple of steps and then down again, and repeats until I let go. If you plotted the brightness on a graph, it would look like the trajectory for a bouncing ball. (or maybe y= x mod n). I hope this helps. -Drew -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pommed depends on: ii eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-7.1 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-8 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libc6 2.11.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libconfuse0 2.7-1 Library for parsing configuration ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libofapi0 0git20070620-4 OpenFirmware device-tree parsing l Versions of packages pommed recommends: ii dbus 1.2.24-4 simple interprocess messaging syst pommed suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
