OK, I tested this, and it sort of works OK.
Output from one brightness down followed by one brightness up press:
[CODE]~$ xev |grep keycode
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 247
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 247
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 247
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248
request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 247 [/CODE]
In practical terms, each press seems to give one or two steps on the
brightness scale, and a bit of a flicker. It is usable, but a bit ugly.
Also, my bluetooth button effects one brightness increment, and if held
down smoothly increases the brightness; as such works slightly better
than the increase brightness button!
Any thoughts? Standing by to provide more info.
