Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.137-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
On NEC Lavie lm370 notebook models the
integrated brightness control function keys do not work.
The following changes makes them usable:
Make keys known to kernel by adding to file /etc/rc.local :
# Get Brightness control keys working; map to XF86 Brightness keys
# up
setkeycodes 65 225
# down
setkeycodes 67 224
Add the event handler to /etc/acpi/events/brightness :
======================
event=video/brightness*
action=/etc/acpi/brightness.sh %e
======================
Add the script /etc/acpi/brightness.sh (attached)
