[Solved] Compiling pommed for MacBook pro 13inch (June 2009 edition)

Hi, I'm trying to get pommed to run on my new MBP 13inch, but whenever I try to run the daemon it fails without any error message. Also when I run the pommed command itself I don't get any output. I tried to run with the standard mactel config and without any config.
I don't know which logs to check but dmesg doesn't show me anything.

Also I tried compiling pommed with the MacBook_Aluminum wiki tip by changing to 5,5, but still the same: no output.

Currently I'm on arch64, thanks in advance.

Hello Jryarch!

And this thread too ?
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=444664

What does it mean no output ? Do you get back the shell prompt without any output or it hangs on forever in an endless loop or what ?

Maybe this one is relevant too:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook

And maybe you can follow the aur-general thread for this matter:

Hope some of them help.

Thanks alot djszapi,

using the second link I got all the debug output from pommed I found out I didn't correct pommed.c the right way (ok, I was just working in the wrong dir..) and after a recompile it started fine. Now I only need to find out why I can't adjust the screen brightness in X (I can see the value change in the debug out), while it works fine from a console.

Thanks again!
