I know where the bug come from :
it's a range issue :
smartdimmer level goes from 1 to 21
hal laptop_panel level goes from 0 to 20 ( the one we want ).
but there is a small bug when you get / set the brightness :
so the lines :
"`smartdimmer -g| awk '{print $3;}`" should become "$(( `smartdimmer -g | awk
'{print $3;}'` -1 ))"
and
smartdimmer -s "$value" should become smartdimmer -s "$(( $value + 1 ))"
Laurent Almeras, will probably fix this problem as soon as he sees those
comments...
Neithertheless, the program i gave you have a small bug (in the "your new
brightness level is: " ) but nothing harmful...
You don't have to run it in sudo...
Meanwhile, Laurent Almeras corrects the small bug, you should be able to set it
more or less properly by doing the command (my small script)
"Brightness_test.sh 5" for example, and then the up/down options should work...
If they don't, please inform us...
