2009-02-21 15:11:57 unggnu description Binary package hint: systemsettings In Jaunty the sonybright.sh script is removed from /etc/acpi because acpi-support is deprecated afaik. This script was important for the brightness hotkeys to work. In Ubuntu the keys still work so I guess it is a Gnome program/function which does the job because it doesn't work in Kubuntu. I am using current Kubuntu Jaunty. Btw. changing the brightness with the power management plasmoid works but not with the keys. My laptop is a Sony Vaio TX2 with intel graphic. To manage brightness the sony-laptop backlight class is used.

This script was important for the brightness hotkeys to work. In Ubuntu the keys still work because gnome-power-manager reacts to them. The Kubuntu counterpart guidance-power-manager is in universe in Jaunty and doesn't change brightness when the brightness keys are pressed so I guess it is a missing function in the Power Management applet package.

Linux uber 2.6.28-8-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 18 18:48:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux When trying to assign the brightness keys to a keyboard shortcut the message: "The key you just pressed isn't supported by Qt" is displayed. I guess this is more of a Qt (both 4.4 and 4.5rc) problem, however it occurs in the KDE control center. When trying to assign a function to the multimedia keys of my keyboard, in one case a requester occurs telling me that "This key isn't supported by Qt". Since in Jaunty the /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh is removed I can't change the backlight of my laptop with Kubuntu but in Ubuntu because later one supports my keys out of the box in guidance-power-manager. Changing the brightness in the KDE power plasmoid works fine so it is only a key problem. xev definitely shows my keys as supported: KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0xab, subw 0x0, time 999639, (-629,210), root:(458,235), state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0xab, subw 0x0, time 1000020, (-629,210), root:(458,235), state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
