This might also be helpful: [[https://listas.trisquel.info/pipermail/trisquel-users/2017-March/076125.html]]. It's a little script I wrote that controls the backlight/brightness using the Fn keys as recognized by ACPI. Of course, it doesn't do the magic alone, because the `acpi_listen` command has

It worked now. Updating kernel + Installing xfce power manager (turns out it won't come installed as default). I'm working on the audio controllers now.

I bought a new laptop. On debian 8 64bit brightness controls worked. On ubuntu 14.04 64bit they did not. I used these instructions to get brightness controls to work about ubuntu 14.04 64bit. https://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ If they work on trisquel, I do not know.

It's certainly possible to make them work. Unforunately, in cutting back on the excesses of the major DEs, LXDE has thrown the metaphorical baby out with the metaphorical bathwater- implementing that functionality is left to the user. In terms of the actual process of doing that, there's in

Today I installed Trisquel LXDE on a old laptop. There is apparently no bright controller. Nor does the keys assembled with functions (raise and shrink sound, control bright, switch wireless) seems to work. It has to be possible to make em work. How should I start? Never used LXDE before, t
