+pommed enables the use of the brightness and volume keys on Apple
+laptops including the MacBook and MacBook Pro (the only Apple laptops
+that Slackware currently runs on) and is likely of little or not use to
+others. pommed requires libsmbios and libconfuse, both of which can be
+found at SlackBuilds.org.
+
+This package installs an rc.pommed script that should be called from
+rc.local (and optionally rc.local_shutdown) like so:
+
+ In rc.local:
+ # Start pommed
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed start
+ fi
+
+ In rc.local_shutdown:
+ # Stop pommed
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed stop
+ fi
+
+It is also necessary to restart dbus after installing this package, either by
+a reboot or a quick restart of just the service:
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus restart
