17 Try running xev and punching brightness keys, if you would see
18 "effects" (some text in terminal) then its OK :P You should change the
19 Acpi configs (etc/acpi/) or Gnome/KDE/Xfce/... bindings.
20
21 (if You dont know it already)
22 For acpi config You'll need "event id" try running acpi_listen.
23 eg. /etc/acpi/events/sleep:
24 event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
25 action=/etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh
26
27 and into actions you put scripts, try using xbacklight.
28
29 If You wouldn't have any reaction in xev and acpi_listen i check the
30 option in kernel.
