Brightness steps

Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:00 pm
How can I change the brightness step scale? The maximum is too much and one notch below too little. I can have access to the whole range by doing

echo -n X > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

but not using the fn keys :(

Sorry, but it seems that the step of "10" in terms of the brightness change is hardcoded into KDE Power Management. You will need to either alter the source code - or request this be changed.

Code: Select all
newBrightness = qMin(100.0f, currentBrightness + 10);
