Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compizconfig-settings-manager
My computer, the toshiba satellite t135-s1312 didn't have the fn+f6 and
fn+f7 keys working to raise and lower the screen brightness. As a
result, I wrote some scripts to handle this myself:
**************************************************
brightness_up.sh
**************************************************
#!/bin/sh
test -f /tmp/dim || echo ff > /tmp/dim
brightness=$((`cat /tmp/dim`))
if [ $(grep -c ff /tmp/dim) -eq 1 ] ; then
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=ff;exit;
elif [ $brightness -gt 99 ] ; then
brightness=ff;
else brightness=$((`cat /tmp/dim`+5));
fi
export brightness
if [ $brightness -eq 100 ] ; then
brightness=ff;
fi
echo $brightness > /tmp/dim
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=`cat /tmp/dim`
**************************************************
brightness_down.sh
**************************************************
#!/bin/sh
test -f /tmp/dim || echo 6 > /tmp/dim
brightness=$((`cat /tmp/dim`-5))
if [ $(grep -c ff /tmp/dim) -eq 1 ] ; then
brightness=95;
elif [ $brightness -lt 0 ] ; then
brightness=0;
fi
echo $brightness > /tmp/dim
export brightness
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=`cat /tmp/dim`
******************************
So I bound each of these scripts to one of the prementioned fn keys.
This works fine for controlling the brightness, but after every time
linux restarts, I noticed that the fn setting is back to the default
(displaying the brightness osd bar without actually changing the
brightness). To rectify this, I have to go inside ccsm and disable and
re-enable the command plugin.
