Hi, when emerging evkeyd-0.1_pre7 at my laptop, i get the following error: >>> md5 files ;-) files/evkeyd.rc >>> md5 src_uri ;-) evkeyd-0.1pre7.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking evkeyd-0.1pre7.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/evkeyd-0.1_pre7/work >>> Source unpacked. cc -mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -c evkeyd.c cc -mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -c config.c cc -mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -c eventinterface.c cc -mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -c backlight.c cc -mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -funroll-loops -c eject.c backlight.c: In function `backlight_init': backlight.c:23: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer make: *** [backlight.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... !!!

I could exclude backlight support from my kernel, but i need it to change my display brightness. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -vD evkeyd 2. 3.

try upgrading to linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r4 or linux-headers-2.6.11 the line that is erroring is: if(ioctl(fd, _IOR('B', 6, 0), 0) < 0) {
Try changing _IOR('B', 6, 0) in backlight.c to _IOR('B', 6, int) and confirm functionality.
Fixed in CVS, thanks.
