The event is detected and handled by devd, but the sysctl seems DOA. hmm let me qualify this. "on my thinkpad z60m", the sysctl itself doesn't seem to be doing anything. But fn-Home and fn-End actually change the dimming of the lcd. It of course wont work with other software that try to affect the brightness of the LCD, i will give backlight a spin. cheers, B _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome Law of Conservation of Perversity: we can't make something simpler without making something else more complex I speak for myself, not my employer.
