You have been subscribed to a public bug: Brightness up and down buttons (Fn + Home, Fn + End) don't work. Running kubuntu, gutsy 7.10. acpid catches events fine, and invokes /etc/acpi/video_brightnessdown.sh and /etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh
The scripts there run acpi_fakekey 224 or 225 , which doesn't seem to do anything. Changing these to: echo 4 > /proc/apci/ibm/cmos and echo 5 > /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos Fixes the problem, although it may just be a bandaid. Shouldn't acpi_fakekey work? -Andrew ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- LCD Brightness buttons do not work on Thinkpad X61 Tablet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
