Hi everyone.
Could somebody tell me what thing in FreeBSD is managing the monitor
brightess ?
Given that the function keys don't work, check if you have any relevant
sysctl options to play with. Most likely to find them under hw.acpi, but
try grepping "sysctl -a" output for bright or lcd to see if anything
comes up.
I've got Dell Inspiron laptop, FreeBSD 9.0 RELEASE and KDE4.
Pressing the functional combintation of Fn+F4/F5 does not have any effect.
In order to understand what's wrong I need to know in what direction I
should move.
Getting the fn keys working requires some ACPI voodoo I'm not familiar
with, so I'll have to defer to someone else to advise on that. The info
at [1] might be a good starting point. The fn keys on my Toshiba R600
laptop started working only after I loaded the acpi_toshiba.ko kernel
module. I note there's no similar module for Dell's so getting them
working will probably require some fiddling.
Cheers,
Lawrence
