Description Felix Möller 2008-12-05 09:45:54 UTC

My brightness hotkeys worked with 11.0 but do not work on default 11.1.

I have to start kpowersave to get the keys working. They do not work with powerdevil it seems.

I can see XF86BrightnessAdjust events in xev.

Comment 5 Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2009-02-20 23:12:47 UTC

is this a wontfix or upstream?

Comment 6 Felix Möller 2009-02-20 23:50:41 UTC

There is a similar bug at ubuntu for volume and brightness.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-kde4-meta/+bug/223643

For the volume there is even a patch in https://launchpadlibrarian.net/16528081/kdemultimedia_4.1.0-0ubuntu3.diff.gz

For upstream brightness there is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181718

This bug already has three duplicates and therefore should not be wontfix.

Comment 7 Marc collin 2009-02-21 02:31:11 UTC

work fine for me...

you need to be sure that every key is correctely setted....

Comment 8 Forgotten User kHYb7eJGnH 2010-01-15 09:11:15 UTC

Should this be upstream where this sort of problem has been widely reported? Is this still a problem, there seem to have been a lot of fixes for brightness problems recently.

Closing meantime. Let me know if is still a problem for you

Cheers
Steve
