Hi. I just installed gentoo on my new macbook, and followed the wiki, and pommed does not start. dbus starts, but pommed doesn't, and I can't understand the error:

Code:
Sepia mactel-patches-2.6.20 # /etc/init.d/pommed start
 * Starting D-BUS system messagebus ...                                   [ ok ]
 * Running pommed daemon ...                                              [ !! ]


Code:
Sepia mactel-patches-2.6.20 # /usr/bin/pommed -d

Pommed used to have (I haven't tried it, but probably still does) hardware tie ins to control brightness and volume, possible more. I think these abilities are built into the kernel now, considering too that you used mactel patches. I was wondering if there was due to be a conflictin there. I know that gnome-power-manager (Power Management) also has this ability and they may be bumping into each other. Thats a good a guess I dare posit.

FYI the 1.6 version of pommed seems to have solved this problem. Guess my hardware was too new.
