Annoying pommed habit with holding brightness keys

[dustynus]

If I press and hold the brightness keys to dim my display completely to black out, it goes black then blips the black off and returns to being partially bright. I then have to press the brightness all the way to the max then slowly 1 key press at a time bring it down to make it stay on black.

What sort of /etc/pommed.conf settings may make this go away?

I'm using a macbook v2 duo core hardy.

Thanks

I don't think it has anything to do with pommed, I can hold the dim key on my MBP 4,1 and the screen quickly goes to black and then stays that way. My settings:

lcd_nv8600mgt {
init = 12
step = 1
on_batt = 6
}

Of course, you should use the section for the graphics card in your MB.

Can you boot Mac OS X and check whether it dims OK there?

lcd_gma950 {
# initial backlight level [0x6f] (0x1f - 0x94 usually, -1 to disable)
init = 0x94
# step value (0x01 - 0x20)
step = 0x01
# backlight level when on battery [0x40] (0x1f - 0x94 usually, 0 to disable)
on_batt = 0
}
kbd {
# default value for automatic backlight (0 - 255)
default = 0
# step value (1 - 127)
step = 5
# ambient light thresholds for automatic backlight (0 - 255)
on_threshold = 20
off_threshold = 40
# enable/disable automatic backlight
auto = no
# idle timer - switches off keyboard backlight automatically (timeout in seconds, -1 to disable)
idle_timer = 60
}

That's what I have down, it works great in OSX.

I messed with the graphics card settings and the problem persists. Could it be from the keyboard backlight settings ?

Thanks
