Hi there. 

I'm not entirely sure that it is appropriate for me to write to you. However, I 
got a funny little thing happening to my karmic-macbook5.1, which might be of 
interest to your further developments on Mactel PPA packages. I upgraded from 
Jaunty to Karmic. As I install the pommed package, the keyboard backlight 
lights up and stays like that for about 1 minute, before it goes dark again. 
During that 1 minute I can use the F5/F6 to make it brighter or darker, but, 
after the backlight dies, those keys don't seem to be of any use. 

Now, here's the interesting part: When I run the command "SUDO POMMED START" in 
the shell, the keyboard lights up again for another 1 minute, after which it 
once again dies out. Every time I run the command I get another minute of 
backlight. 

This is the last remaining issue I got with my karmic, so am trying to avoid a 
new fresh installation in attempting to fix it. Do you guys have any idea what 
could be causing this? Or how could I attempt to fix it? Should I add, I've 
been using Linux for the past couple of years, but as a Social Sciences guy, I 
guess I'll be an eternal newbie. Would really appreciate any help. 

Thanks for your attention. 

Regards,

Gui Fernandes
