Searching for pbbuttonsd i386 users

For about five months now the Debian package of pbbuttonsd builds a package on i386, too, since it might actually be useful to have these available on MacBook (Pro) machines as well. What I don't know (since up until now I never actually used or even saw a MacBook with Linux installed) is whether any significant part of the functionality is working there or if it all depends on hardware that was specific to the PowerBooks and iBooks (e.g. PMU).

I've decided that I will remove the i386 binary again before etch if nobody claims that it has proven useful too him. So if there are any users out there that would actually miss that package, please speak up now...

Should be useful for MacBooks
If we can trust the Gentoo Wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Apple_MacBook#Using_the_brightness.2Fvolume_keys) pbbuttonsd could be useful also for MacBooks. I tried it but pbbuttonsd don't wanna start because of missing /dev/pmu. If there would be a possibility to use pbbuttonsd without pmu it could be very useful. Just contact me if you need somebody to test something according to pbbuttonsd on a MacBook. Best regards.
