A way to fix FN backlight keys on Linux systems running Intel i915
When your FN keys don't work
-
sudo apt-get install inotify-tools
-
Clone this repo
-
Edit MULTIPLIER variable dividing max-bri
-
Run as root the script that fits your laptop. Looking at the folders in
/sys/class/backlight
may help you choose.
- automatically set multiplier
- check at start for inotify-tools to be installed
- installation script
- automatically run at startup
- unify scripts (automatically detect non-Intel folder in /sys/class/backlight)
This work is a based on this gist by Michel Alexandre Salim then edited by me. To know about the license, read it in the script files.
