Hi,

My brightnesscontrolkeys dont work with samsung-tools other hotkeys works fine for me..

acpi is installed...
i can change the brightness with : setpci -s 00:02.0 f4.b=ff
but the hotkeys will not work ....

Also Samsung-backlight is supportet
# dmesg | grep Samsung
Samsung-backlight: checking for SABI support.
Samsung-backlight: SABI is supported (f51fb)

xev has this output if i press fn+up/down:

KeyRelease event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
root 0xaa, subw 0x0, time 8861190, (169,-8), root:(315,13),
state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
root 0xaa, subw 0x0, time 8861797, (169,-8), root:(315,13),
state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False



I think its a problem of xbindkeys but i have no idea....
can anyone help me? if the hotkeys for brightness will work i could finally use archlinux

Regards,
