Is there a way to support that workflow? We have Bug 494497 still open to resolve that issue for Wayland. What's left to do on this front is code to manually read the current brightness from the monitor before making any change to it, so that we can restore brightness to the last configured level again later. As mentioned elsewhere (e.g. at https://discuss.kde.org/t/powerdevil-is-re-setting-my-display-brightness-after-the-display-wakes-up/23079/9), this is complicated by the fact that monitors don't send brightness change notifications to the OS but KWin has to get its brightness value from somewhere. It's doable to make it work without giving up on brightness control altogether. Still not quite there yet though. Imho the next step should be to add a checkbox to KWin's Display Configuration page in System Settings that specifically excludes a given display from brightness controls. That would go a long way for giving Wayland users a way out. On X11, Plasma 6.3 improves its behavior to avoid restoring the last known (but possibly wrong) brightness value after the monitor sleeps and wakes up again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
