Description Massimo Burcheri 2007-10-14 17:59:17 UTC

In conjunction with shift pbbuttonsd should set the brightness to maximum level. That works fine on the iBook G3 but doesn't work on the PowerBook G4 (PowerBook5,8).

And this is a Gentoo-specific bug exactly why?

It might be a limitation of the keyboard.  Can you try on your G3 to see if the shift + fn + F2 has a different keycode than just fn + F2?  If not, I guess perhaps report this to the upstream developer.
