           Summary: Powerbook special keys not working on newer powerbooks
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: powerpc
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux

         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


adb detection detects nothing on Powerbooks >= Feb2005. On my older Powerbook Ti, /var/log/messages has this info:  
  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.111054] adb: starting probe task...  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.112165] PCI: Enabling device 0002:24:0d.0 (0000 -> 0002)  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.370648] ADB keyboard at 2, handler 1  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.370656] Detected ADB keyboard, type ISO, swapping keys.  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.370696] input: ADB keyboard on adb2:2.c4/input  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.370724] input: ADB Powerbook buttons on adb7:7.1f/input  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.385907] ADB mouse at 3, handler set to 4 (trackpad)  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.446049] input: ADB mouse on adb3:3.01/input  
Sep 11 12:04:29 localhost kernel: [   29.446054] adb: finished probe task...  
  
On the newer powerbook, I'm only getting the starting/finished probe task messages, but nothing is detected. Thus, the  
Powerbook special keys and the touchpad are not working. I could fix the touchpad with the information from Bug 7904, 
though. 
 
Without the PowerBook special keys, there's no way to press PageUp, PageDown, Home/End and some others, so this is pretty 
anoying :( 
 
Note - both PowerBooks run the current Breezy (updated today).
