I had a problem when I upgraded kernels as well. When on the 2.6.15
kernel I2C was a module. I did not change this config when I first

kernel & the lcd & sensor started to work but I still cannot get the
keyboard light to work.

I have the same problem as you do, but in my case the ambient lights

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.

Hi there,
I'm not sure if this will be of help... I have an older model G4 ibook
(with a G3 proc) which does not have the lighted keyboard feature...
check to make sure you have event interface enabled (the EVDEV module)
in your kernel. Also enable APM emulation or something like that under
the new Mac drivers menu.
I've also noticed that the pbbuttonsd.conf default kbd light value is 0,
maybe that needs a different value? Have you tried changing the light
sensor threshold values as well? also running pbbcmds? any luck with that?
I dunno...hope this was somewhat helpful...
best,
alden
