I'm encountering this problem on my asus w7j too. Basically: - pressing keys gives acpi event (checked wich acpi_listen), which in turn generates fake keypress events (checked with xev) and hal events (checked by hal -m) - pressing keys does change brightness in gnome. 'cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness' value does not change. 'cat /proc/acpi/asus/brn' value changes. - pressing keys does not change brightness in KDE or on console, 'cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness' does not change. 'cat /proc/acpi/asus/brn' value does not change. - changing brightness settings in KDE power management settings works, and 'cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness' does not change. 'cat /proc/acpi/asus/brn' value changes.
my conclusion: - acpi stuff now only generates events and does not takes action anymore - gnome power manager is the only app currently able to catch these key or hal events and change brightness accordingly - there's no app for KDE able to do that - there's no console app either 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 note: bugs above regarding gnome-power-manager working and then not were unrelated to this one and fixed (see tvst comment). -- 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
