In particular, Michael Gmelin had been very helpful in providing a workaround for the failure of the brightness control buttons on my rather ancient T520. He has also provided a solution for the failure of the volume control buttons that I've had since the last update to MATE. I have yet to try it as something else (no idea what) had magically fixed this after a couple of months of them not working. I can't figure out what "fixed" this, but it just started working a couple of weeks ago. Until/unless it fails, I'm not touching things. Also, my apologies to Michael as I have not responded to him with a status update for WAY too long. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
