--- Comment #2 from Carlo <cirlo...@msn.com> ---
As far as I am concerned I am interested, but I have zero experience with C++ &
KDE framework and my setup is not up to date with Plasma 5.21
That in combination with the fact that now I have to study for my last uni exam
makes it difficult for me to start anytime soon :/

That said this evening I tried to locate the region of the bug, at least. I
didn't do much, but I understood that powerdevil can actually read and write
the actual screen brightness from libddcutil.
PowerDevilUPowerBackend does what it should, afaik. It even changes display's
brightness through ddcutil according to powersaving settings (e.g. after 5 mins
of inactivity it actually dims the screen).

Nontheless no slider appears in powerdevil's applet. How is that even possibile
that it can read & write the right only needed value, I don't know, it is
probably something I cannot understand with the connect() calls.
I tried to see the API changes of ddcutil 1.0.0
(http://www.ddcutil.com/c_api_100/), but none of those seem to affect KDE's
code...

Finally there is one log I don't understand:
org.kde.powerdevil: Handle button events action could not check for screen
configuration (HandleButtonEvents::checkOutputs@240)
