- Macintosh PowerBook. With this code, the backlight will be turned
- on and off appropriately on power-management and lid-open/lid-closed
- events; also, the PowerBook button device will be enabled so you can
- change the screen brightness.
+ Say Y here to enable Macintosh specific extensions of the generic
+ backlight code. With this enabled, the brightness keys on older
+ PowerBooks will be enabled so you can change the screen brightness.
+ Newer models should use an userspace daemon like pbbuttonsd.
