This is odd enough that I am uncomfortable opening a ticket. it makes little sense to me. Since I updated to xorg-server-1.20.7 with attendant transition to evdev and updating to mesa-19.0.8, I can no longer adjust my LCD brightness from my keyboard. I tried xev pressing Fn does generate press and release events but Fn-Home and Fn-End, the brightness control keys on my ThinkPad T520, produce no event and no change to the brightness. I can still adjust brightness with sysctl. Other Fn combinations, such as turning the ThinkLight on and off work, but I know that some of these are processed by ACPI/EC without OS involvement. Is it reasonable for the switch to evdev to cause this? Any ideas of a fix or should I open a ticket? I should note that I am still running with DEVD, not UDEV. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
