 |
|
Hi,
I've updated to kernel 2.6.15-rc7 to be able to use airport extreme from my 12" powerbook. (airport extreme works great BTW)
The problem is that pbbuttons stopped working: When I press the buttons nothing happens. pbbuttons starts and runs (according to pstree) correctly.
I'm using exactly the same config as with 2.6.14.x. Anybody has seen same issues, or is it my config?
Regards,
Markus

| no, I haven't. I also tried pbbuttonsd-0.7.3 (not yet in portage), but this doesn't solve the problem. |

At the Debian List there are serveral People talking about this Problem.
They found a fix for the 2.6.14 Kernel, but this doesn't work for the 2.6.15 Version.
seems like the problem is the uinput.c...
the following diff - output shows the lines to edit... but this doesn't work for 2.6.15
From the debian mailinglist:
| Code: |
diff --git a/drivers/input/misc/uinput.c b/drivers/input/misc/uinput.c
index 948c1cc..c696ae3 100644

maybe this could be helpful to solve the present problem |

Problem is solved for me!
I simply used the latest (unstable) version of udev. This was for me 079
Now all pbbutton-commands work without problems!
thanks to the guys from the bugreport!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me with udev 0.79-r1 on a G3 Wallstreet. Pbbuttonsd has been set up with the codes for the volume and brightness keys (determined with xev), but they have no effect.
Below is my .config's Mac driver section.
| Code: |
#
# Macintosh device drivers
#
CONFIG_ADB=y
CONFIG_ADB_CUDA=y
CONFIG_ADB_PMU=y
CONFIG_PMAC_APM_EMU=y
CONFIG_PMAC_MEDIABAY=y
CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_ADB_MACIO=y
CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID=y
CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN=y
# CONFIG_THERM_WINDTUNNEL is not set
# CONFIG_THERM_ADT746X is not set
# CONFIG_WINDFARM is not set
# CONFIG_ANSLCD is not set
|
Is this sufficient, or have I missed something out? |

I have:
| Code: |
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
CONFIG_SYSV_IPC=y
|
In the relevant parts of .config, and /dev/event0-5 are present. The evdev module is loaded.
The button info. xev gives me is:
+ brightness: 212
- brightness: 101
+ volume: 176
- volume: 174 |

| Further to this, I can set volume, mute, LCD brightness &c. with pbbcmd, so these functions are actually usable. Gtkpbbuttons also works when the commands are given with pbbcmd. However, whatever I do, the actual buttons on the machine have no effect on pbbuttonsd although they produce values for xev. Can anyone suggest what might fix this? |
