13.2 Xfce and brightness fn keys

Post by salixman »

Hey, I'm using the beta for salix 13.2, and my function keys aren't working for the brightness. I got the volume and multimedia keys set up but I can't figure out how to setup the brightness keys. Anybody know how to set them up?

It's an acer aspire timeline 4810tz, and I haven't actually tried vanilla slackware yet, so I'm not sure if it would work in slack. It usually works in Xfce (at least when they are Debian based).

I couldn't seem to get the command to work (my folder is /proc/acpi/OVGA, not VGA), and the brightness applet doesn't work either. I tried installing salix 13.1.2 and I got the same result.
