Hello everyone!

May I please ask if there is already a work around in order for me to make Backlight Control of my laptop adjust using hotkeys?

To refresh you... I used to execute this

xrandr --output LVDS --Set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native

My screen blinks and I am able to use hotkeys. It is a known bug that in kernel 2.6.30 and above, many started to experience failure of hotkeys.

Just wanted to know if there is a fix for this in antix 8.5
Here are some outputs for whatever its worth.. Thank you! __{{emoticon}}__

Code: Select all

jun@(none):~$ uname -r
2.6.32-1-mepis-smp
jun@(none):~$ xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native
warning: output LVDS not found; ignoring
X Error of failed request:  BadRROutput (invalid Output parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  148 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  15 (RRGetOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request:  19
  Current serial number in output stream:  19

Not sure about a work around. Mine works fine but I use Liquorix kernels. Try and install one and see if it helps.

That would be worth the try. May I please know how to get the Liqourix kernels? __{{emoticon}}__

Thanks!
