Maybe this fix from Dov-El works for you as well? It worked for me, but
I am not on Kde:
The fix is found @ http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/04/overview-of-

[Bug 145337] Re: Brightness key stopped working after update [Gutsy]
Issue is fixed, kmilo now receives fakekey-events and forwards to
guidance-power-manager by a dcop call. guidance uses dbus in order to
tell hald to actually change brightness.
changelog entry:
kdeutils (4:3.5.8-1ubuntu7) hardy; urgency=low
* debian/patches/kubuntu_14_kmilo_powermanager.diff:
Added Brightness Down Up key actions (DCOP call to Guidance
Power-Manager). Fixed all DCOP calls to recent change of
application top level name (power-manager - guidance).
-- Luka Renko [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun, 10 Feb 2008 20:45:42 +0100
Workaround for gutsy:
edit scripts in /etc/acpi to use dcop-calls instead of acpi_fakekey.
the dcop-commands by luka renko sometimes don't work until acpid is manually
restarted (dcop can't attach to server).
the following calls work better as i see it:
dcop --all-sessions --all-users power-manager-`ps ax|grep -m 1 guidance|awk '{
print $1 }'` power-manager brightnessUp
dcop --all-sessions --all-users power-manager-`ps ax|grep -m 1 guidance|awk '{
print $1 }'` power-manager brightnessDown
I think this bug could now be closed.

Re: [Bug 145337] Re: Brightness key stopped working after update [Gutsy]
No success on my HP2510p. Downloaded Luka's updated packages. Logout/Login. Screen brightness buttons still don't work. Also tried Ryan's xmodmaps to XF86Launch1 and XF86Launch2. No change in brightness. Brightness buttons work in Gnome, nevertheless. xev keycodes correspond to: keycode 101 = XF86LaunchD keycode 212 = XF86LaunchE just as specified in ubuntu.xmodmap. Here's what xev gives in KDE and then Gnome when pressing the brightness buttons. Notice the strange FocusOut events in KDE. These are burst every time I press on the Decrease brightness button.

Luka,
You have a typo in your sources. It doesn't work because these lines:
{ BrightnessUp, KShortcut(XF86Launch1, SLOT(pmBrightnesUp())
},
{ BrightnessDown, KShortcut(XF86Launch2),
SLOT(pmBrightnesDown()) },
are supposed to be these linese:
{ BrightnessUp, KShortcut(XF86Launch1),
SLOT(pmBrightnessUp()) },
{ BrightnessDown, KShortcut(XF86Launch2),
SLOT(pmBrightnessDown()) },
Notice the missing s...
It most probably had nothing to do with your choice of key bindings.
Hope that helps.

In message at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu- devel/2007-December/002059.html you ask results of procedure below. Don't work here. How to manually test this with brightness keys on your laptop: 1. Manually assign keycode In Konsole, execute the following commands: xmodmap -e 'keycode 101 = XF86LaunchD' xmodmap -e 'keycode 212 = XF86LaunchE' 2. Assign some KDE global shortcuts - start System Settings - go to Keyboard Mouse, select Keyboard Shortcuts section - in Shortcuts Schemes, check that you are in Global Shortcuts tabe - find Maximize Window action (in Windows section) - select it and in the bottom of screen select Custom or click on button with None label - dialog will open, now press appropriate brightness key (up or down) - XF86LaunchD or XF86LaunchE should be entered (if not, check step 1.) - click Apply button 3. Test newly assigned key - ensure that you have one window set as current - press assigned key - window should maximize If the first key works, please repeat step 2. and 3. with the second brightness key, to test both xkeysym assignments. When I get some reports (positive or negative), we can debug this further. You can also try to reach me on IRC in #kubuntu-devel - just ping Lure.

In fact, as of a couple of days ago I began working around the problem in KDE by shutting down guidance-power-manager and running gnome-power-manager. If these analyses are correct, then I'm at a loss as to how it seems to be overlooked that Kubuntu appears to have no facility for handling brightness key events, and how the actual brightness-changing functionality got removed from /etc/acpi/events before guidance-power-manager (or whatever) grew a replacement for it. so one should: 1. implement this in kde power manager 2. implement this in a daemon listening for hal events (so that it works in console mode) 3. make sure those cooperate so that brightness is not set multiple times for one keypress Agreed, I'd like to repeat my opinion that having to be logged into your desktop environment to change the brightness of your LCD using *dedicated hardware keys* is less than ideal. -- Brightness key stopped working after update [Gutsy] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145337 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Same problem with a 1501. Gutsy with all the updates (it's updating some stuff right now, but they're unrelated). The funny thing is, I used to have this problem in Feisty, until Dell released a bios update. Then it _sort of_ worked. If I hit the brightness keys a few times (no matter which one), eventually it would dim a little, and if I hit them some more, it would brighten back up. I had only those two options: kind of dim, and bright, but it was better than nothing. After I installed Gutsy (clean install), the brightness keys aren't working anymore. I did what Francisco suggested, and all I get is a little message next to the battery icon on the system tray (is that the guidance manager?) saying: Brightness: 0%, no matter if I say brightnessUp or brightnessDown. -- Brightness key stopped working after update [Gutsy] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145337 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Running KDE on Dell Inspiron here. Using KDE power manager does work. From the console, with KDE running, I can change the brightness settings using: % dcop power-manager-6385 power-manager brightnessUp % dcop power-manager-6385 power-manager brightnessDown (Use % dcop power-manager-6385 power-manager to see all the options). [...] However, the brightness keys don't work. What the brightness keys do is to execute /etc/acpi/video_brightnessdown.sh and /etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh. (Anyone wanting to check this should use xev and 'lshal -m') These scripts only call /usr/bin/acpi_fakekey with the correct key number.

Yes, you're right, the marking is counter-productive.

It looks to me like they moved most of the ACPI event-handling functionality out of the /etc/acpi scripts and into gnome-power-manager, guidance-power-manager, or kpowersave which listen for the events via HAL. If that is the case, then neither guidance nor kpowersave seem have any provision at all for handling brightness key events in the first place, so perhaps the modifications to /etc/acpi should be reverted for the brightness keys. On the other hand, this could be dead wrong, in which case, somebody who knows how these subsystems are set up in (k)ubuntu, and/or where to find said information, *please* chime in.

[Bug 145337] Re: Brightness key stopped working after update [Gutsy]
I have the same symptoms as the OP on my up-to-date ThinkPad T60 running Kubuntu. Brightness keys do not work even though lshal -m, acpi_listen, and acpid all see them/do the right thing. No OSD from kmilo anymore either, for anything, even volume or thinklight which work (probably only because they are done in hardware). This all worked several weeks ago, and has actually always worked up until then. Guidance can still adjust the brightness with the slider. Although it's not related directly to this bug, I tend to think it's not coincidental that my lock (Fn-F2, used to lock the session I think, I didn't use it much), battery (Fn-F3, which used to cause guidance-power- manager to show it's tooltip), suspend (Fn-F4), and suspend-to-disk keys (Fn-F12) do not work right anymore either, and broke at the same time. Their implementations in /etc/acpi and so forth are also all similar, only generating various fake keys (see below). The biggest problem with my troubleshooting is that I can't understand/find information on the big picture, how is this mechanism supposed to work at all to begin with. I seem to remember (although admittedly not infallibly) that the scripts in /etc/acpi used to actually modify the brightness (and perform the other key actions) directly thru /sys or /proc somehow. Now all they appear do is synthesize keystrokes using acpi_fakekey. This works right too, xev for example sees these fake keystrokes (although many of them do not have keysyms). But, is some program supposed to receive these keystrokes and perform the action? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? What is HAL's role, if any, in making this work? After the fake key generation, I lose the trail. Any clues? This is a terrible nuisance because I use(d) these keys frequently.
