I went into keyboard and mouse options and didnt see anything in there to turn on the backlit on the keyboard. I have a 1.5ghz 15" powerbook. thx

On the 17" it's F8 to turn it on and off, then F9 and F10 to turn it up and down. However, it'll only work in the dark.

All of the powerbooks have the buttons, but just because they have the buttons doesn't mean you have the backlit keyboard
