https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432730 --- Comment #6 from Carlo --- I am sorry for the very late reply. That said I am not really sure since when, but I appear to have been fixed ^^ Powerdevil now have its slider and (i presume) it uses the right ddcutil interface. @Rind > If so, can you test the DKMS module ddcci-driver-linux? At the moment i am using ddcutil and it works, so i haven't tried it yet. Do you still need me to test with ddcci driver? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432730 --- Comment #5 from Rind --- @Carlo Does your monitor support DDC/CI? If so, can you test the DKMS module ddcci-driver-linux? https://gitlab.com/ddcci-driver-linux/ddcci-driver-linux/ It creates a device in /sys/class/backlight/ that will possibly allow you to control the brightness via the plasma's powerdaemon. If you use archlinux or any other distro derived from it there is a package in aur available. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ddcci-driver-linux-dkms/ After installing the module you can load it with `modprobe ddcci_backlight`. I have a compatible monitor but it is not being listed there. The driver readme says that it will only be listed if there is support for controlling the brightness, my monitor has it but it is still not being brought up. So I think it might be an upstream problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432730 --- Comment #2 from Carlo --- As far as I am concerned I am interested, but I have zero experience with C++ & KDE framework and my setup is not up to date with Plasma 5.21 That in combination with the fact that now I have to study for my last uni exam makes it difficult for me to start anytime soon :/ That said this evening I tried to locate the region of the bug, at least. I didn't do much, but I understood that powerdevil can actually read and write the actual screen brightness from libddcutil. PowerDevilUPowerBackend does what it should, afaik. It even changes display's brightness through ddcutil according to powersaving settings (e.g. after 5 mins of inactivity it actually dims the screen). Nontheless no slider appears in powerdevil's applet. How is that even possibile that it can read & write the right only needed value, I don't know, it is probably something I cannot understand with the connect() calls. I tried to see the API changes of ddcutil 1.0.0 (http://www.ddcutil.com/c_api_100/), but none of those seem to affect KDE's code... Finally there is one log I don't understand: org.kde.powerdevil: Handle button events action could not check for screen configuration (HandleButtonEvents::checkOutputs@240) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
