Hello, I am not sure if the reason behind this problem is pbbuttonsd, although I am fairly sure, I want to have a confirmation (this happens from time to time on my laptop).
I have configured pbuttonsd to just turn off the display when on AC and the lid is closed. I found that, sometimes, when opening the lid again, the backlight will not be turned back on (I can see the locking screen of KDE); if I try o swith to a text console, the backlight is turned back on for a split second, I can see the display properly, then is back to off. Switching back and forth between the X console and a text console does not fix the issue, but the light-on-for-a-split-second thing is present. Also I have found that I can work arund the issue if I put the laptop to sleep and wake it up. (But even this work around doesn't always work for me since I am experincing lock-ups before sleep - nobody has an idea why). Does anybody else has this issues? Can someone confirm this? How can I fix it? Help would be appreciated. ----8<-------------------- $ LANG=C apt-cache policy pbbuttonsd pbbuttonsd: Installed: 0.7.5-2 Candidate: 0.7.5-2 Version table: *** 0.7.5-2 0 900 http://ftp.ro.debian.org unstable/main Packages 900 http://snapshot.debian.net unstable/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ----8<-------------------- $ uname -a Linux merci 2.6.18-rc5-merci #1 Wed Sep 13 23:44:36 EEST 2006 ppc GNU/Linux compiled from Linus' git version as it was on 2006-09-02 00:35:01.000000000 +0300 ----8<-------------------- $ cat /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf # Configuration file for pbbuttonsd >= version 0.5 # for options see man pbbuttonsd.conf [SYSTEM] #userallowed = "" ; user who is allowed to use IPC autorescan = yes ; automatic rescan of event devices CmdTimeout = 8 ; timeout in seconds for launched scripts, etc. [MODULE PMAC] dev_PMU = "/dev/pmu" dev_ADB = "/dev/adb" TPModeUpKey = 225 + alt TPModeDownKey = 224 + alt TPMode = drag ; 'notap', 'tap', 'drag' or 'lock' KBDMode = fkeysfirst ; 'disabled', 'fkeyslast' or 'fkeysfirst' Batlog = log ; 'none', 'cycle' or 'log' NoTapTyping = yes ; switch trackpad to 'notap-mode' while typing [MODULE POWERSAVE] onAC_Policy = performance ; 'nochange', 'powersave', 'custom' or 'performance' onAC_TimerAction = none ; 'none', 'suspend-to-ram', 'suspend-to-disk', 'blankscreen' or 'shutdown' #onAC_CoverAction = suspend-to-ram ; see TimerAction for possible values onAC_CoverAction = blankscreen ; see TimerAction for possible values onAC_KeyAction = suspend-to-ram ; Action (see TimerAction) for the sleepkey onAC_SuspendTime = 36000 onAC_DimTime = 0 onBattery_Policy = powersave ; 'nochange', 'powersave', 'custom' or 'performance' onBattery_TimerAction = suspend-to-ram ; 'none', 'suspend-to-ram', 'suspend-to-disk', 'blankscreen' or 'shutdown' onBattery_CoverAction = suspend-to-ram ; see TimerAction for possible values onBattery_KeyAction = suspend-to-ram ; Action (see TimerAction) for the sleepkey onBattery_SuspendTime = 3000 #onBattery_DimTime = 1200 onBattery_DimTime = 0 SleepKey = 116 SleepKeyDelay = 0 ; values > 0 may be dangerous, if the power key is used to trigger sleep BWL_first = 22 ; first battery warnlevel, time in minutes BWL_second = 10 ; second battery warnlevel, time in minutes BWL_last = 5 ; last battery warnlevel, time in minutes Script_PMCS = "/etc/power/pmcs-pbbuttonsd %s %s %s" EmergencyAction = sleep ; action, if battery is critically low HeartbeatBeep = yes ; beep, if nothing else showed that the computer lives CPULoad_sleeplock = yes CPULoad_min = 5 ; value in percent CPULoad_period = 20 ; time in seconds NETLoad_sleeplock = yes NETLoad_min = 4096 ; traffic in Bytes/s NETLoad_period = 20 ; time in seconds NETLoad_device = "eth0 tun0" IBAM_DataDir = "/var/lib/ibam" [MODULE DISPLAY] LCD_Brightness = 15 ; initial LCD brightness level LCD_FadingSpeed = 5 ; 0 = no smooth fading LCD_AutoAdjust = yes ; only on Aluminum PowerBooks LCD_IllumUpKey = 225 LCD_IllumDownKey = 224 LCD_Threshold = 94 ; ambient light threshold in percent for backlight autoadj.
