Hi all!
I have an Acer 4530 (9100m Nvidia IGP) with OpenSUSE 11.1. I have never managed to get the brightness notification on GNOME to display when I hit Fn+keys to set the lcd brightness.
Now that I decided to upgrade (11.3) I tested my system with the GNOME LiveCD. Everything is working, but the brightness notification isn’ t!
It works under Mint 9 and Fedora 13 on default boot.
One thing I noted is that gnome-applets-brightness is able to control the brightness also, but the Fn+keys don’t change the applet’ s state (it seem that the keys are not binded to whatever part of GNOME).
Can you help me sort this out?
Thanks!
Same problem here. I have a Samsung R430 and the brightness, or any fn key, is not working. If i use teh applet on gnome or kde, it does nothing.
hi all. Have the same problem on laptop Samsung R510
On opensuse 11.2 x86 i had to simply add acpi_backlight=vendor, then use xbacklight to set lcd brightness.
Today installed 11.3 RC2 x86_64 have the same problem but:
acpi_backlight=vendor do nothing
acpi_osi=“Windows 2006” do nothing
acpi_osi= do nothing
any xrandr commands do nothing
xbacklight changes it’s value but brightness still maximal
cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD04/brightness changes it’s value but brightness still maximal
kde power manager do… nothing of course.
so, any ideas how to fix it?
