Maybe that's a good opportunity to suggest to add the fnkeys tool, as well. Unfortunately, that app doesn't exist yet :o(. A while ago, I was asking for a way to switch the setting of the F[1-12] keys combined with the Fn-key on the powerbook in Linux (default F-keys - default backlight

Or fbutils. fblevel uses the PMU_IOC_SET_BACKLIGHT ioctl; unless the ix86 guys (and others) implement that one I don't see the point in adding fblevel to fbutils ? We need some new fbdev ioctls to handle backlight and other things like video mirroring, etc... This is not simple. For example,

Similar issues happen with things like mirroring multihead. Some chips can do mirroring only (I have code for mach64 to do that), so in this case, a single ioctl is enough to enable/disable it. You have code for mirroring on mach64? Do share :-) Works with LT-G (wallstreet), not tested on

I don't know, this was a honest question. The source for trackpad should be in the pmud source package (look at the contrib dir) but the tool really has nothing to do with pmud and should be in some other package. If got the Source Package. You only need one c file and compile it. I can

If Debian had a decent way to search distributions other than ix86, I'd have looked up a suitable package to add the trackpad tool to. The way the search engine is organized now it just plain sucks, and I've got no time to poke around on the FTP site. If someone knows of a PPC or PowerMac

While you're at it, could you add the -a command-line switch to /etc/default/power default config in pmud ? (Switches on apm logging at /etc/power/apm) I'll do that in the next release. Michael

Hi! I have some really annoying problems with X11 and the touchpad on my Powerbook Pismo. The first problem is the lack of three buttons. I know from my pre-mac days that one could emulate three buttons, but I assume that only works when you have at least two physical ones. Is there any way to
