Hi everyone, here's a positive update. I found this trick...
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=xx
..where xx = the percentage of brightness. 0 is completely off. 50% is half
brightness. And FF is 100%.
It works well on my 4810T running openSUSE 11.4 KDE without causing system
sluggishness. So this looks like the way forward. So now:
1. How do we re-route the Fn+Arrow hardware keys run this function instead of
their current function? The current function does adjust brightness, but it
hangs up the system.
2. How do we make KDE and Gnome power managers run this command? They currently
can't control brightness at all.
3. How can I run this command as a regular user without sudo?
Thanks for your help!
