I use powerprefs 0.8.0 and pbbuttonsd 0.8.1. Debian is a little bit behind because unfortunately the package is currently marked as orphaned. > I tried looking at other places but I can't seem to find the place where it > displays Driver information. I installed it from the stable branch. Maybe the > version is outdated? Yes, but the version in stable works quite well on PowerPC. The changes in the new releases are mainly aimed at the new Intel based MacBooks. I think also the new versions won't fix your brightness problem because it does nothing else as Yves-Alexis wrote in his email. Nevertheless you might want to give it a try. > Also, I've read something about pommed package available in testing and > unstable. Do you have any experiences with that? Pommed is a small daemon created to support the Intel-based MacBooks. The latest version got also support for PowerBooks but the main focus is MacBook. It has only a subset of pbbuttonsd's features, but it does a good job. Nevertheless it won't fix your brightness problem because it uses the same methods to control the brightness as pbbuttonsd.
