I use kubuntu from gutsy. The brightness keys used to work on feisty, and stopped after an upgrade yesterday.
$ cat /var/lib/acpi-support/system-product-name 8743CTO The dcop scripts don't work for me $ lshal -m Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 00:26:54.354: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up 00:26:56.291: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-down By echo'ing values to /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness I can adjust the brightness. -- 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
