I'm trying to get pommed to run on my macbook but get an error:

I: DMI machine check: running on a MacBook3,1
System: Linux 2.6.28-ARCH x86_64E: mmap failed: Invalid argument
E: Could not map GMA950/GMA965 memory
E: LCD backlight probe failed, check debug output
Has anyone seen this also?
Apparently the error occurs in an mmap:
memory = mmap(NULL, length, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, address);
because address/lenght are probably set to the wrong values
mmap failed: Invalid argument
from what I could gather these are filled using pciutils, namely pci_scan_bus.
My system has just been installed so I don;t know whether this is a specific problem for these versions or whether pciutils recently broke something.
Suggestions welcomed.
PS: I'm brand new to archlinux so if this message is inappropriate in any way, please tell me where and how I should post it.

Forgot to mention, my system is x86_64 and I had to change PKGBUILD to compile for 64bits.
By the way, macbook-backlight fails for similar reasons.

Gentoo has a bug related to this.

Updating pciutils fixed this.
Brightness and volume key controls now work.
