Shouldn't this all just get handled properly by hal these days?
Probably should, but I have no idea how to do that... I'm not sure if it has anything to do with HAL, but I know it has it's own policy and dbus configuration.

HAL does take care of the volume up/down/mute keys on my Macbook out of the box on Fedora. I don't use the other keys too much so I am not sure.
The media keys work fine now with HAL, the only thing that pommed does do that HAL doesn't at the moment is backlight control. I heard that was coming in 2.6.27, but I'm not sure if that holds true or not. Either way, I guess I'll close this since the package isn't of much use.
As of Fedora 12 and kernel 2.6.31.5-127, the keyboard back-light is constantly on, running on a Macbook Pro 2.2. Sound and LCD brightness work out of the box, but eject button and keyboard backlight don't. -c
Do we still need this now?
