Hi, I'm using a Macbook 2.16 Core 2 (Black).
pommed and gpommed works wonderfully, thank you so much for developing this app.
This is more of a feature request than anything, but when I am running Powertop (www.linuxpowertop.org) , I notice that gpommed and pommed are responsible for around 15-20 and 5 CPU wakeups per second respectively.
Now I know that polling is one of the most effective and efficient ways to monitor the status of the backlight, etc. but using a notification system like inotify would save some of these wakeups from happening and increase the battery life.
I would like to try to patch this myself, if only I had time and more experience in C programming, but if you would look into this issue (or maybe just point me where in the source code to look) it would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thank you for a wonderful app =)
regards,
Arthur V. Amarra
