I have tried to use the setting. Unfortunately I see odd behavior. As first mentioned, I have 2x of the same LG display. One I use for my desktop, the other I share between my desktop and my laptop (for work I use the display for my laptop, in my free time I use it for my PC; my desk has no room for 3 displays). My desktop is on KDE 6.2, my laptop is on KDE 5.24 (for reasons). As long as I use a static setup (e.g. this weekend I used the 2 displays only for my PC), the setting works fine. As soon as I start switching the display between my PC and my laptop, there is odd behavior. My 2nd display drops in to very very low levels of brightness, after starting to use it from my PC. I do use dccutil to switch around the inputs of the 2nd display, maybe that somehow interferes with what KDE is doing... > Alternatively, the PowerDevil README describes how to set the > POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL environment variable, which will disable brightness > controls for external DDC/CI monitors: > https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/blob/master/README. > md#troubleshooting-ddcci-monitor-brightness-controls. I have done that and disabled the KDE brightness setting (I'm not sure if the latter was necessary or I just observed more weird behavior)... For the last few switches between displays I've not observed weird behavior. Hopefully there are no further issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
