Bug#433406: acpi-support: Fn-F7 and Fn-F8(bright) not working, on HP dv6000t
Hi Jose, Regarding debian bug #433406, did you ever get those Fn-F7/F8 keys to work on a newer kernel version? (I've sent you an e-mail about this earlier, but it may have gotten lost somewhere.)

Hi,
Sorry for my late answer, I recieve a huge amount of emails that are
moved to the bugs/ folder and I don't check them all the time.
About this I found in some email thread that this keys works with
kernels higher to 2.6.23, I haven't tested this but I will in some
moment and will let you know :-)
Regards.

Please do the following two things: (1) Run acpi_listen and then press these keys, and tell me what this shows? (2) Check out if you can control your laptop's brightness using some kind of command. If I understand it correctly, the dv6000t has nVidia GeForce Go 7400 video, which nvclock doesn't support. Try using the smartdimmer tool. And are there files in /sys/class/backlight? If you can provide me with a command (2) and a set of key values (1), I might be able to get acpi-support to do this for you. Hi Bart, I tried `acpi_listen' and don't gives me any kind of return, I checked the logs (/var/log/messages and /var/log/acpid) and I can't see anything... I tried as well with `smartdimmer' and according to `smartdimmer' he's changing bright but I don't see any difference even making a change from `0' to `21' in the level. `/sys/class/backlight' is empty. In that case I don't really know how I can fix this up in acpi-support. I can't detect the keys and I can't change the brightness.
