Brightness Keys

[andrewwoods]

Sorry, because I know that this information is in the forum archive somewhere, but I can't find it and I've run out of possible search phrases.

I recently reflashed back to Beta3, and the FN-F3 for brightness down and FN-F4 for brightness up don't work.

I expected that, because it never worked with B3 OOTB, but I can't find what to change to make it work.

Please can somebody remind me.

Thank you

Hi Andrew,

from http://www.thesounddesign.com/zaurus/beta3.htm:

------------[Fix Zoom + Brightness keys]-------------

The default install does not have the [Fn] + [1,2,3,4] hot keys correctly set-up. This means you cannot zoom, or change brightness. [Fn] + [1,2] switches between SVGA 640x480 and VGA 320x240. [Fn] + [3,4] raises or lowers the brightness. This is handy to have in daylight, as full brightness is much easier to read. To bring this usability back you need to change the line in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx from -

defaultserverargs=" -nolisten tcp"

to ->

defaultserverargs=" -nolisten tcp -kb"

You can use vi from a command line, or leafpad from the display to edit. Save the file when you're done. Exit X, and when you restart X your [Fn] keys will work properly.

That's great, thanks. I was searching for keyboard mapping, no parameters to X.
No wonder I couldn't find it.

This fix doesn't seem to work for me on beta 3,
my line in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx is a little different (I think I modified it for chroot debian)

defaultserverargs=" -screen 480x640@270 -kb"

I have also noticed my right shift key doesn't work...
