Hello everybody,
I’am using OpenSUSE 11.1 (KDE version 4.2) on a HP Compaq 6530s laptop and I have an inconvenience: I cannot adjust my screen brightness via Power Management tool.
It took me hours to search for solution with google but no result was useful. What should I do now?

I use HP 2230s and confirm the same result. Also the fn-f7 and fn-f8 keys
doesn’t work for decreasing/increasing screen brightness.
When I run xev, it captures nothing with fn-f7 and fn-f8 keys. Though it
captures fn-f2, fn-f3, fn-f5, fn-f9, fn-f10, fn-f11, fn-f12 but with nothing
happens in the systems.
Maybe something should be added to hal-fdi configuration. I try several
combination like adding lines
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product"
contains=“2230s”><!-- HP 2230s →
<append key=“input.keymap.data” type=“strlist”>e012:brightnessdown</append>
<!-- FnF7 (brightness down) →
<append key=“input.keymap.data” type=“strlist”>e017:brightnessup</append>
<!-- FnF8 (brightness up) →
</match>
to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-hp.fdi but nothing
happens.
xbacklight -get is 100.000000 when I use electric power. I try to change
xbacklight -set 60, no result in screen brightness.
Any help really appreciated.

I try xbrightness from 1-click install
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:sergey1369/openSUSE_11.1/xbrightness.ymp
I can manage the screen brightness now from the konsole
xbrightness 40000 for low
xbrightness 50000 for medium
xbrightness 60000 for high
But the problem with fn keys combination stand still.
