Hello, list! Lenovo Y450-3M laptop with: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 240M] (rev a2) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 38fd Kernel driver in use: nvidia Would you, please, to explain how to configure a system or edit configuration files in order to bring laptop brightness funktional keys (Fn+key) to thier normal work? It is impossible to adjust brightness pressing Fn+UpArrow and Fn+DownArrow keys. The symbol of brightness is displaying well, but no adjust actually happen. Googling left me unsure about what I have to do to correct this issue. There are mostly comments from Ubuntu users. I know Ubuntu is Debian based but need to be understanding what I am doing with my system. If you have a little time, please, help. Thanks in advance! --- The solution is to add a line into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf On the “Device” section append the following line: Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" After that I have reboot the machine and ta-da: Fn keys serve well to adjust a brightness. I have found that solution at http://www.andresclari.com/blog/enable-nvidia-brightness-control-in-ubuntu-10-04/ and believe it is harmless, easy to apply and rollback. Thanks to one who made it first available to public and everyone who disscuss that. -- Sincerely Yours' Mark Goldshtein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
