Package: pommed
Version: 1.37~dfsg-1
Severity: normal
My brightness keys were "jumping" the brightnes on my MacBook v1.1,
e.g. increasing the brightness from 0% using function key would cycle like so:
0%-25%-50%-0%-75%-100%-0%-100%.
Turns out the step value for the MacBook v1.1 (Intel Gma950) is a bit too
big. /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/max_brightness is 15. When
I've changed the step value from the hexadecimal value to "1" I got back the
smooth/gradual brightness increase/decrease via function key.
Below is the relevant section of the modified pommed config file.
And it turns out I don't need pommed anymore, since "it just works" without it
now.
Thank you for working on this package it was a pleasure to have working function
keys all this time.
Regards,
Dmitrijs.
