Description Tim - 2010-05-15 15:58:41 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

My brightness hotkeys are supported through QT/KDE but there is no function support the change of brightness. The same problem appears with Opensuse 11.2

It is working in Kubuntu since 9.10 and I have attached the patch which should be the right one. I haven't tested it yet against the Opensuse package though.

Patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~debfx/kdebase-workspace/powerdevil-patches/annotate/head:/debian/patches/kubuntu_101_brightness_fn_keys_and_osd.diff

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to change brightness on your laptop with supported brightness keys.
2. Try to find a hotkey function which support changing brightness.
Actual Results:  
No brightness change.

Expected Results:  
There should be a brightness change.

Sorry that we missed the patch. It is fixed with more recent versions of openSUSE.
