screen brightness and sound volume

[Greg Hamilton]

The daemon pbbuttonsd handles the functions for all the special 
iBook/PowerBook buttons for brightness, volume and cd eject. It also 
handles power management. It can be configured to dim the display after 
a period of inactivity, put the machine to sleep, spin down the 
hard-disk, etc.

The default settings for pbbuttonsd, including initial brightness and 
volume are stored in /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf. There's a man page for 
pbbuttonsd which contains more information.
