** Summary changed:

- REGRESSION: Neither Pommed nor GNOME Power Manager nor HAL see 
brightness-up/down key events
+ REGRESSION: Pommed does not see brightness-up/down key events when on an X11 
VT

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: pommed
  
  MacBook Pro 3.1
  
- Since a week or so ago in Intrepid, neither pommmed, nor g-p-m, nor HAL
- see brightness key events.
- 
- Pommed and HAL don't use X keyboard stuff, while I think g-p-m does.
- This may be wrong, I have only quickly scanned the sources.
+ Pommed uses linux/input.h, while g-p-m (which works) uses X keyboard
+ stuff. When on an X11 VT, the key events do not pass to Pommed.
  
  WORKAROUND: switch to a non-X VT (Ctrl+Alt+F1..6) in order to change
  brightness, then switch back (Alt+F7).
