pbbuttonsd for Debian

=====================

my usb/external events are ignored (i.e. the screens stays dark if I move the external mouse)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pbbuttons scans event input devices only at startup, you can force it to do

automatic rescan by setting:

autorescan = yes

in /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf. See also http://bugs.debian.org/324604 for further

discussion.

but it still doesn't work!

--------------------------

probably you are running a static /dev (commonly found with linux 2.4 kernels)

and you have a lot of input devices. You need to create more, you can do so by

running:

mknod /dev/input/event1 c 13 65

mknod /dev/input/event2 c 13 66

...

mknod /dev/input/event7 c 13 71

this problem won't occur if you are using udev (only on 2.6 kernels) for

example.
