Yes, I meantLCD_AutoAdjust = yes It's a bug, fixed in pbbuttonsd 0.7.4-2 (see http://pbbuttons.berlios.de/ ) Btw there is a 0.7.5 available too.

Though I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, Matthias? First, Filippo is right. LCD_IllumDownKey expects a keycode as integer. It isn't an Boolean option. The behaviour you described is not a bug, more a nuisance. After activating automatic brightness control the ambient light sensor controls the LCD brightness and the minimum brightness level was limited to 1 to prevent the controller to switch off the display under certain environmental conditions. That the user even can't switch off the display by hand wasn't obvious and bothered nobody so far because the automatic controller would switch it back on anyway. On the other hand there was no good reason to limit the users action and so I fixed this behaviour in 0.7.5. See also the Changelog entry: 2006-03-23 0.7.4-2 * SIMUABIENT code was broken - fixed * added sync() before calling any suspend mode. (debian bug #357595) * allow the user to dim the display until it's dark (brightness level zero) even if autoadjusting is active. The former minimum level was one. (debian bug #345314) I hope this makes thinks more clear. Best Regards Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: pbbuttonsd Version: 0.7.2-1 Severity: normal Hi, I'm using a powerbook 15 (5,6) with LCD brightness autoadjust. If in pbbuttonsd.conf I set LCD_AutoAdjust = no, I can switch off lcd using LCD_IllumDownKey until brightness is 0. But if I set LCD_IllumDownKey = yes, i can't go below 1, even if I set LCD_AutoAdjMin_(Bat|AC) = 0. I've tried to look at the source but couldn't find why it's like that. It would be convenient to can switch off lcd event with autoadjust on (like in OSx) Regards. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-rc7 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages pbbuttonsd depends on: ii hdparm6.3-3 tune hard disk parameters for high ii libasound21.0.10-2 ALSA library ii libc6 2.3.5-9GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii lsb-base 3.0-13 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-79 creates device files in /dev Versions of packages pbbuttonsd recommends: pn laptop-mode-tools none (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
