For those who is interested in setting Fn keys with acpid.
As it has been already mentioned above in this thread, if you simply write

Of course you can do this restart automatically on every startup.

I agree that submitting patches are the best way to solve a bug, and I was my

Your script is a great workaround, it compiles cvs, etc.. etc.. and it is

hi to all , it looks that executing nvclock in
"hal-system-lcd-set-brightness-linux" doesn't work, but maybe smartdimmer can!
Can someone pleassse put a .deb(i386) :P of nvlock hacked and with the
smartdimmer utility ?

I've got the same problem here.
Does anyone know if letting acpid dealing with this is the correct way?
Shouldn't HAL expose this to higher level applications, like for example
gnome's power manager or KDE4's Powerdevil?

I don't know if it relies on ACPI Daemon or other but I've a problem with
Hotkeys setup...
I followed what nielsslot said, I restart acpid and mes keys work. But when I
restart my computer, I must restart acpid once when I want to use my keys...
Do you have this problem too ?

thanks for all :)
What do i need to do to use HAL with NVClock, and so the FN-keys & the gnome
brightness applet & the on-screen display work ?
I tried the patch that alters the config files from yleetiny but doesn't work.

yleetiny: current NVClock CVS includes a Smartdimmer utility. The code of
this utility is based on the old smartdimmer code and uses the new NVClock
backend (with Geforce 8 support).
