Comment 24 for bug 114677

The brightness keys work on my Darter, and it has no asus brightness scripts.
So, evidently, that is not the problem.

Best,
Tom

Subject: [Bug 114677] Re: LCD brighness hotkeys do not work in Darter

I've been looking at /etc/acpi/events and wondering why there is nothing
for asus brightness:

I see several asus things like asus-mail which work. I also see stuff
for sony and toshiba brightness. Here is what is in asus-mail:

event=hotkey ATKD 00000050
action=/etc/acpi/mailbtn.sh

When FN F3 is pressed, mailbtn.sh runs. I tried making a similar thing
with the assumption that 52 and 53 are F5 and F6 and using the scripts
we got from Sytem76 to bind to F5 and F6, but that didn't work. Perhaps
I'm being too simplistic or I got the numbers for F5 and F6 keys wrong.

xdev does not show F3 to be 50; so that is not where the '0000050' came
from.

I think /etc/acpi/events may have been populated by the acpi-support
package which doesn't include brightness for asus as far as I can tell.
