Bug#273015: Problem with backlit keyboard on aluminium powerbook
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Mathieu, no need for Dan to test - I've managed to solve my X11 problems and verify keyboard backlight works with this udev rules file. Do you want me to submit a patch against the pbbuttonsd package? Cheers, Michael Mathieu, the attached udev rules file will load the i2c-dev module at boot time. I've copied it into /etc/udev on my system, and linked it as ../050_pbbuttonsd.rules inside /etc/udev/rules.d as it's done for mouseemu. Maybe Dan could test this solution - I can't get a stable X desktop session on my PowerBook5,5 model with Jessie.

Control: tags -1 - moreinfo Mathieu, currently upgrading to the latest testing weekly build. I'll look into what's required for udev to load the correct module.

Bug#273015: Problem with backlit keyboard on aluminium powerbook (fwd)
Here's a patch that tries to load the i2c-dev module when pbbuttonsd
is started and it's on an alum powerbook. It's slightly hacky, but I'm
not sure there's a better way to do it. There's no real hotplug
support for detecting a i2c bus as far as I can tell. I'm sure I've
missed some machine types, I've just used the one for my
machine. Comments and criticisms welcome.
