Can you change brightness in any other way? For example using commands: * KDE: solid-powermanagement brightness set [value] * KDE PowerDevil + dbus: qdbus org.kde.powerdevil /modules/powerdevil org.kde.PowerDevil.setBrightness 99 * xbacklight (`yum install xbacklight`) xbacklight -set [value] * manual write to /sys/class/backlight/ cat /sys/class/backlight/*/max_brightness echo [value] > /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness Well, i suspect it's a problem with the X Server Keyboard bindings because the problems appears also in Gnome. Xev, actually, display the keyboard event as "BrightnessUp/Down" but nothing happens. (By the way, I don't know if monitor brightness is managed by X server at all). I have also tried the commands as per your suggestion: both solid-powermanagement and qdbus work. The manual write doesn't because no element exist under /sys/class/backlight/ (the command fails with the message: "file not found") It looks like Qt doesn't recognize your keys; does manually changing the brightness via the slider work for you? (in the battery applet) And, please attach the exact output from xev *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 649084 *** Ok. I don't know if it may help since the bug has been closed as duplicate, but by any chance here's the Xev output: FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x8000001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor FocusIn event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x8000001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor KeymapNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 40 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x8000001, root 0x10b, subw 0x0, time 3906715, (394,130), root:(400,155), state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False FocusOut event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x8000001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor FocusIn event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x8000001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor KeymapNotify event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x8000001, root 0x10b, subw 0x0, time 3907451, (394,130), root:(400,155), state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False P.S. Cannot try with the slider in the battery applet. The iMac is a desktop pc. |
