However i am able to control the brightness width the following command:
sudo echo 180 | sudo tee
/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
Where 180 is the brightness, it goes from 0 to 255.
Any way to bind it to the keyboard backlight keys?

I found a solution:
I made a script, with that i can control the brightness:
st...@stoto-laptop:~$ cat backlight.sh
#!/bin/bash
$act
act=`cat /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness`
echo $1
case $1 in
inc)
if [[ $act -lt 255 ]]; then
I had to make a little modification for the script so it will work after
reboot too:
st...@stoto-laptop:~$ cat backlight.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [ `ls -al
/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness | awk
{'print $1'}` != -rwxrwxrwx ]; then
gksudo chmod 777
I attached the script.

@Chris: I am pretty sure that nvidia-bl only controls the screen, not
the keyboard backlight and hence this bug is still valid (well for me it
definitely doesn't fix it)

Hi Chris,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try

As of ubuntu 9.10 beta 5, the default driver for the mactel keys doesn't

almost well -- only F1/F2 for LCD backlight don't work. So whoever is
taking care of an update for 9.10, please do so ...

Someone updated the community docs to state that pommed now works. I
installed it and does work, but there are some differences. #1) The
option to swap the default Fn behavior becomes disabled and the
suggested configuration for pommed doesn't appear to work. #2) pommed
appears to have the
You should not use pommed on these newer macs. It is depreciated.
Instead the driver should be patched.

The hal-applesmc package in the mactel-support ppa is now updated for

This hal interface for the applesmc Linux module is required for the

P. Dunbar,
It does not work for me either, as for everyone else I suppose. Also, I
don't see anywhere in the wiki [1] a reference in the wiki about the

P. Dunbar, Thanks a lot for the hint!
The F-keys for the keyboard backlight work the same way like for the
display. I still feel however that they are not that _responsive_ as
they could/should.

There seems to be a common denominator in all them and that is

OK, folks if you stick your ear just below the right speaker (and a bit

so GPM sees the button press events correctly it appears...
how do we get it communicating with leds_smc_kbd_backlight now to actually
bring the backlight on or off?

My guess is: hal-applesmc - 0.14
is available for intrepid and not Jaunty yet...
But I'm not sure if it can get working without that modification.
And I think I recall reading Henrik isn't working on Jaunty anymore and he
created that package for Intrepid.

I tried looking at pommed to get this working as well but the current version
in the repos (1.25) says:

since the applesmc module seems to be working, what does

I can manually control keyboard backlight with
echo 255 /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
to fully turn on or echo 0 to turn it off... This was after the install of
applesmc-dkms.
There does seem to be some oddity traversing the directory structure
there as
I don't know if this is relevant but when I run:
# echo 255
/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
I get permission denied. However, I can run:
# echo 255 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
..from the intrepid docs and it works
I usually sudo -i first then I run the command and you don't get permission
denied.
You could also run it the same way as
echo 255 | sudo tee -a
/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
Both work, I like your path better cause its shorter.
