2009), MacBookPro5,2 (17" MacBookPro June 2009).
version 1.26:
- pommed: only keystrokes on the built-in keyboard should reset
the keyboard idle timer.
- pommed: add USB IDs for the Apple external aluminium mini
keyboard.
- pommed: switch to sysfs resource files for PCI memory access
instead of mmaping /dev/mem.
version 1.25:
- pommed: check current hardware backlight level before setting AC
or battery level. Do not act if the backlight is off.
- pommed: do not reject the Apple Bluetooth keyboard because of
advertised EV_ABS events.
- pommed: fix DBus configuration snippet for newer, stricter

with the mbp_nvidia_bl kernel driver; fall back to native
nv8600mgt if not supported.
- pommed: try to reconnect to DBus if DBus is not available at
startup. Previously we would just drop it and live without DBus.
version 1.22:
- pommed: do not probe for LMU controller on pmac machines that do
not have a backlit keyboard. Avoids a spurious error message.
- pommed: factor out ADB & LMU write routines, avoids duplicated
code in the kbd_{lmu,pmu}_backlight_set() routines.
- gpomme: add japanese translation for gpomme, courtesy of
Nobuhiro Iwamatsu <iwamatsu@nigauri.org>.
- pommed: use a common sysfs power class routine in power.c, add
sysfs power class support for pmac machines.
- pommed: added partial support for the October 2008 laptops
(MacBook5,1, MacBookPro5,1, MacBookAir2,1), LCD backlight missing.
- wmpomme: turn wmpomme into an event-driven dockapp, eliminating
the fixed update rate (and, thus, wakeups). Thanks to Kalle
A. Sandström for the prodding.
version 1.21:
- gpomme: use compositing if available, patch by Soeren Sonnenburg.
version 1.20:
- pommed: fix array boundary check in check_machine_dmi().
- pommed: use BUS_BLUETOOTH for the Apple wireless keyboard.
version 1.19:
- pommed: get rid of the libsmbios dependency on Intel machines.
- gpomme: integrate config file monitoring and DBus messaging into
the main loop. Get rid of the 10 times per second polling.
- pommed: new event loop.
- pommed: convert power and kbd to timers integrated into the
event loop.
- pommed: integrate DBus into the event loop.
version 1.18:
- pommed: add more IDs for Apple external keyboards

starting with kernel 2.6.25.
version 1.16:
- pommed: add support for the MacBookPro4,1.
- pommed: add support for the MacBook4,1.
- pommed: add support for the WellSpring keyboard+trackpad
assembly ("MultiTouch"), found in the MacBookAir1,1.
- pommed: add support for the WellSpring II keyboard+trackpad
assembly ("MultiTouch"), most likely found in the MacBookPro4,1.
- pommed: fix MacBook Air machine identification string, the real
string is MacBookAir1,1 and not MacBook Air1,1 as the Apple
technote puts it.
version 1.15:
- pommed: add preliminary support for the MacBook Air1,1; USB IDs
missing.
- pommed: add support for power_supply class to the ACPI code.
version 1.14:
- pommed: fix error handling in the audio sample loading code to
properly report failure, preventing nasty segfaults later on in
case the sound file is not available.
- pommed: make goutte.wav the default beep sound, add click.wav
and remove the KDE beep sound.
version 1.13:
- pommed: add an option to disable the beep on volume change.
- pommed: add the videoSwitch DBus notification.
- wmpomme: add video switch support.
- gpomme: add video switch support.
- pommed: add support for LCD backlight control on the Intel 965GM
found in the MacBook3,1.
- pommed: rework the inotify code to handle several events at once
and to handle events with long filenames (longer than
sizeof(struct inotify_event)); pommed could enter a busy-loop when
receiving an inotify event with ie->len > sizeof(struct inotify_event).
version 1.12:
- pommed: do not expect at least 3 evdevs at startup; there are
only 2 on the MacBook, and possibly only 1 on the pmac machines.
version 1.11:
- pommed: beep on volume change, now that we have the audio code
in pommed itself.
- gpomme: remove audio-related code.
- pommed: partial support (ie. no LCD backlight yet) for the
MacBook3,1 (MacBook Core2 Duo Santa Rosa, November 2007).
- pommed: rework the event management. Use epoll() for event
polling instead of poll(). Use inotify to watch new event devices
appear in /dev/input. This effectively fixes our disappearing
event devices issues after suspend. YAY.
- pommed: add support for the external Apple USB keyboards, white
& alu. If you have such a keyboard with another USB ID, please
contact me. Patch from Carmine 'earcar' Paolino <earcar@gmail.com>.
- pommed: add secondary locations for the uinput device
node. Heads up & patch from Carmine 'earcar' Paolino.
version 1.10:
- pommed: add a beeper feature as a substitute to the missing PC
Speaker. The feature is disabled by default, as not all machines
need it and not everybody wants it ;)
version 1.9:
- pommed: add an idle timer to automatically switch off the
keyboard backlight. Suggested by Javier Marcet.
- pommed: turn has_kbd_backlight() into an inline function.
- pommed: kill code duplication in the main loop.
version 1.8:
- pommed: probe for the applesmc sysfs path in the ambient light
handling code. The path has changed in Linux 2.6.22.
- pommed: added automatic LCD backlight dimming when switching
from AC to battery power (and vice-versa).
- pommed: send out DBus notification when the automatic LCD
backlight dimming kicks in (similar to the automatic keyboard
backlight notification).
- gpomme: adjust for the new LCD backlight notification.
- Add the gpomme icon contributed by Jan Larres
<jan@majutsushi.net> under the icons/ directory.
- pommed: add support for the nVidia GeForce 8600M GT found in the
MacBookPro3,1. I don't like that code, if there's something better
that can be used, please mail me.
version 1.7:
- pommed: add partial support for the MacBookPro3,1 (Core2 Duo,
15" & 17", June 2007). New Apple IR receiver too. Missing nVidia
backlight control.
version 1.6:
- pommed: add new "Apple Inc." vendor ID in SMBIOS routine.
version 1.5:
- pommed: back to using eject(1) for CD ejection.
- pommed: fallback to of_find_node_by_name() for LMU controller
detection; it seems some PowerBooks (5,4) do not have a node type
associated with the node in the device-tree.
version 1.4:
- pommed: add proper support for the PowerBook5,8 and PowerBook5,9
(PMU05 machines); add Geyser keyboard identification, PMU05
ambient light sensors and keyboard backlight. Thanks Gaudenz
Steilin for the report and testing.
- pommed: added a simple backlight toggle mode, used when the
automatic backlight is disabled in the configuration file.
- pommed: enumerate i2c adapters.
version 1.3:
- gpomme: added configuration GUI, courtesy of Daniel G. SIEGEL.
- gpomme: added elegant-bright and elegant-dark themes, courtesy
of Natanael Arndt <arndtn@gmx.de>.

sends the dbus notification before ejecting the CD.
- pommed: add DBus methods to control pommed over DBus. Original
patch by Alexis ROBERT <alexis@fnux.org>.
- pommed: add keyboard backlight fading for automatic keyboard
backlight. Based on a patch from Mario Oschwald
<mario.oschwald@hpi.uni-potsdam.de>.
- pommed: try harder to reopen the event devices when coming back
from suspend.
version 1.2:
- pommed: PowerBook5,5 has an ADB keyboard, not a USB keyboard.
- Added October 2003 iBook G4 support (PowerBook6,3), patch by
Arthur PETITPIERRE.
- pommed: tell DBus clients who is adjusting the keyboard
backlight, so they can decide to skip the notification if it's not
the user itself.
- gpomme: adapt to the new DBus notification.
- wmpomme: adapt to the new DBus notification.
- pommed: added support for nVidia GPUs.
- pommed: added support for mouseemu users (mouseemu virtual

If you own one of the machines listed above, please test pommed by
running pommed -d and tell us:
- if it works at all
- if, not running either pommed or pbbuttonsd, pressing the
backlight up/down keys makes the backlight level change
Please send the debug output along with these information; we know
that pommed won't work out of the box on some of these machines.
