I agree with this, I posted a similar analysis a month or so ago. 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
