Hhhhhhello! I've been recently digging into E's ability for backlight, and saw this post from Mr Raster himself: https://www.mail-archive.com/git@lists.enlightenment.org/msg23232.html
So, if I understand correctly, E has the ability to change backlight from regular monitors (and not only for laptops!). And this even has 2 years! But today I'm posting to the list because this is not working, and I don't really know why :D I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 using Niko's PPA ( http://ppa.launchpad.net/niko2040/e19/ubuntu/) and using E 0.25. Also, Ubuntu has no "libddcutil" but it does have a plain "ddcutil", which I tried and it's working with my monitor. I've also tried gddccontrol, same protocol, different lib, also works. So, I'm kinda curious if my problem is the integration between E and DDC. I tried looking into the code to reverse engineer (and granted, I am BAD at it :D ), but the line that I definitely do not understand is this one: ```e_system_send("ddc-val-set", "%s %i %i", bd->dev + 4, 0x10, (int)(bd->val * 100.0)); // backlight val in e_system_ddc.c``` So, how does that `ddc-val-set` works? regards! -- Wido _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
