A solution/workaround for
Bug 16882 - There is no way to adjust the backlight in MeeGo UX
https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16882#c11
.................
Based on comments [...], I setup the following workaround:
(1) orig gconf values:
$ gconftool-2 -R /meego/
Failure listing entries in `/meego/': Bad key or directory name: "/meego/":
Key/directory may not end with a slash '/'
[***@localhost ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /meego
/meego/ux:
theme = 1024-600-10
ShowPanelsAsHome = true
background = /usr/share/themes/1024-600-10/backgrounds/01-purple-swirl.png
/meego/app:
/meego/app/camera:
capturemode = 0
(2) set gconf values to prevent automatic backlight control:
$ gconftool-2 -t bool -s /meego/ux/AutomaticBacklightControl false
$ gconftool-2 -t int -s /meego/ux/ManualBacklightValue 100
$ gconftool-2 -R /meego
/meego/ux:
ShowPanelsAsHome = true
theme = 1024-600-10
AutomaticBacklightControl = false
ManualBacklightValue = 100
background = /usr/share/themes/1024-600-10/backgrounds/01-purple-swirl.png
/meego/app:
/meego/app/camera:
capturemode = 0
(3) Reboot or do sudo init 3; sudo init 5
(4) Install four scripts in ~/bin/ to control brightness and
four associated .desktop files to allow scripts to run from launcher:
bin/fullbright
bin/midbright
bin/lowbright
bin/normalbright
.local/share/applications/fullbright.desktop
.local/share/applications/lowbright.desktop
.local/share/applications/midbright.desktop
.local/share/applications/normalbright.desktop
Install by:
(a) cd ~
(b) wget http://nielsmayer.com/meego/tab/tablet-ux-brightness-scripts.tgz
tar zvzf
(c) tar xvzf tablet-ux-brightness-scripts.tgz
(5) Now click on text of "fullbright" (sorry, no icons installed) in the app
launcher to turn display to full brightness and turn off DPMS/screensaver. Or
click "midbright" or "lowbright". To return to having the screensaver turn on
after 5 minutes, launch "normalbright"....
