[opensuse] Screen brightness
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X61, and have it set to turn the screen brightness set to get lower when it is on battories. This works fine, until the screen turns off (after 5 minutes of inactivity). When it I wake it back up, the screen brightness is reset to full. I can go into KPowersave and turn the brightness down, and that works, but as soon as the screen turns off, and comes back on, it is bright again. Related to this (maybe), there are hot keys (via a function button) to controll the screen brightness. When I use these buttons, a display pops up in the center of the screen to tell me what the brightness is, and I can raise and lower what it says the brightness is, but the screen brightness does not change. hope someone can help, thanks, -Jesse

Strange. Out of curiosity, have you contacted IBM about this (since I believe they actually designed that particular machine -- they may know something about it, especially since IBM is on the Linux bandwagon now)? And do a google search. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is true, but I don't think I have any kind of support from IBM because I bought it through Lenovo. I doubt I could even pay for support.
And do a google search. I tried this, did not turn up anything useful.
