This is weird.
(Running Dell Inspiron 6400 with Intel 945GM graphics card)
When logging in with KDE (this is important) If I listen to
"acpi_listen" or "lshal -m" everything seems to be working... except for
the actual brightness which does NOT change. I have these processes
running:
~ % ps axf | grep hal
5043 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/hald
5044 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-runner
5114 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on
/dev/input/event1
5117 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-cpufreq
5118 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket
/var/run/acpid.socket
5119 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on
/dev/input/event4
5120 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on
/dev/input/event5
5121 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on
/dev/input/event6
5187 ? S 0:00 \_ hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/scd0 (every
2 sec)
7630 pts/2 S+ 0:00 | \_ grep --ignore-case --color=auto
--extended-regexp hal
6361 pts/4 S+ 0:00 \_ lshal -m
If I start a new session with GNOME. The very same acpi/HAL events are
generated, and now they do work; and what is worse, if I return to my
(still open) KDE session, now the brightness keys also DO work. However
I don't have any difference in the ACPI/HAL logs nor in the HAL
processes running.
Can anybody how can I track this further?
Kind regards
