Slightly off-topic, but I've been experiencing a minor bug in the keyboard backlight feature.
I say it is "minor" only because the feature serves no real functional purpose. You can activate a trigger called "heartbeat" that will cause the keyboard light to pulse at a speed based on the CPU usage. On my MBP17, after activating this trigger the machine will either lock-up or core dump within about a minute (timing is not consistent). I'm not sure if this is a part of the driver you wrote, but if it is then I thought you might like to know. If not, maybe the person who did write this module will see this message. ~Bradley On 3/20/07, Nicolas Boichat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Bob Copeland wrote: > > On 3/14/07, Nicolas Boichat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hello, > >> > >> I developed, a while ago, a driver the Apple System Management > >> Controller, which provides an accelerometer (Apple Sudden Motion > >> Sensor), light sensors, temperature sensors, keyboard backlight control > >> and fan control on Intel-based Apple's computers (MacBook Pro, MacBook, > >> MacMini). > > > > Hi Nicolas, > > > > I tried out an earlier version of this patch several months ago just to > > play > > around with the joystick part of the accelerometer driver on my MacBook, > > and > > found that it was backwards in the y-direction compared to what Neverball > > seemed to want (of course, NB has no way to invert the joystick).
