I have the same problem as you do, but in my case the ambient lights sensor doesn't work either. This happened after a switch from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. I think the reasons might be in the I2C module that has been changed.
In the 2.6.15 it was I2C_KEYWEST while in 2.6.16 it is named I2C_POWERMAC. Wrote an email to the author of the pbbuttons but had no reply. It would be great if we can sort out the problem in this list. p.s. machine : PowerBook5,4 motherboard : PowerBook5,4 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (PowerBook G4 15") pbbuttonsd, version 0.7.5 Linux maca 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 yours, kos -- Respectfully, Konstantin V.
