Release Notes

This release adds support for the LCD backlight on late 2008 machines (MacBook5,1, MacBookPro5,1, MacBookAir2,1).

Note that the LCD backlight does not react when running X11 with the proprietary nVidia drivers on the MacBook5,1 and MacBookAir2,1. It does however work on the MacBookPro5,1.
It works on all 3 machines when running the opensource nouveau driver.

This release also introduces a generic sysfs backlight driver that is used by default on nVidia-based machines, in conjunction with the mbp_nvidia_bl kernel module.
If this driver is not available, pommed will fall back to the native driver automatically. Check your logs.

Change Log

 - pommed:
   + add backlight support for late 2008 laptops.
   + default to sysfs backlight driver for nVidia machines, with the mbp_nvidia_bl kernel driver; fall back to native nv8600mgt if not supported.
   + try to reconnect to DBus if DBus is not available at startup. Previously we would just drop it and live without DBus.
