Hello Rhonda, if you change the yaboot.conf you have to invoke ybin -v afterwards. Kind regards, Marko Kaiser -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry for not being more helpful... Yes I already done that. And there is nothing interesting in dmesg. It's almost the same as on working kernel. lsmod output is more suspicious. I have the same modules however on non-working kernel the Used By column in evdev shows 0. On non-working kernels I have less devices in /dev/input/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

… which would make the path depending on the linux-headers version.
Better, pbbuttonsd should do something like this:
struct stat st;
const char *path;
int fd;
if (stat(/sys/module/usbhid/parameters/pb_fnmode, st) == 0) {
path = /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/pb_fnmode;
} else {
path = /sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode;
}
fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);

I just noticed the race condition there. A better way:
fd = open(/sys/module/usbhid/parameters/pb_fnmode, O_RDWR);
if (fd 0) {
fd = open(/sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode, O_RDWR);
if (fd 0) {
/* Not available */
}
}
/* Use fd */
