the hal-find-by-capability --capability keyboard_backlight outputs nothing.... if i try: hal-device | grep kbd 41: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/leds_smc_kbd_backlight' linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/leds_smc_kbd_backlight' (string) leds.function = 'kbd_backlight' (string)
then i ran the gnome-power-manager in verbose like you said and while running pressed the F6 and F5 key, here is the output during those key presses: TI:13:39:38 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-backlight.c FN:conf_key_changed_cb,501 - unknown key /apps/gnome-screensaver/power_management_delay TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:hal_device_condition_cb,413 - condition=ButtonPressed, details=kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_emit_type,96 - emitting button-pressed : kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-manager.c FN:button_pressed_cb,1029 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:egg-console-kit.c FN:egg_console_kit_is_active,116 - no ConsoleKit session TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-manager.c FN:button_pressed_cb,1033 - ignoring as not on active console TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-srv-screensaver.c FN:button_pressed_cb,167 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-backlight.c FN:gpm_backlight_button_pressed_cb,534 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-info.c FN:button_pressed_cb,679 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_filter_x_events,149 - Key 238 mapped to key kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:40 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_emit_type,92 - ignoring duplicate button kbd-illum-up TI:13:39:43 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-array.c FN:gpm_array_append,141 - adding to 0x1614410, x=0, y=97, data=65280 TI:13:39:43 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-array.c FN:gpm_array_append,141 - adding to 0x1614470, x=0, y=8293, data=65280 TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_filter_x_events,149 - Key 237 mapped to key kbd-illum-down TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_emit_type,96 - emitting button-pressed : kbd-illum-down TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-manager.c FN:button_pressed_cb,1029 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-down TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:egg-console-kit.c FN:egg_console_kit_is_active,116 - no ConsoleKit session TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-manager.c FN:button_pressed_cb,1033 - ignoring as not on active console TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-srv-screensaver.c FN:button_pressed_cb,167 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-down TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-backlight.c FN:gpm_backlight_button_pressed_cb,534 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-down TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-info.c FN:button_pressed_cb,679 - Button press event type=kbd-illum-down TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:hal_device_condition_cb,413 - condition=ButtonPressed, details=kbd-illum-down TI:13:39:44 TH:0x144ea00 FI:gpm-button.c FN:gpm_button_emit_type,92 - ignoring duplicate button kbd-illum-down -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 keyboard backlight not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
