However i am able to control the brightness width the following command: sudo echo 180 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
Where 180 is the brightness, it goes from 0 to 255. Any way to bind it to the keyboard backlight keys? -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 keyboard backlight not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL): New Status in Mactel Support: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The keyboard backlight on the MacBook 5.1 is not supported as of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Alpha 5. This is supported in Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10) by the Mactel PPA packages hal-applesmc, hid-dkms, and possibly nvidia-bl-dkms, though I installed the nvidia-bl-dkms package for Jaunty. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
