Describe the bug Seems that the backlight is tied to intel_backlight.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1.) copied schema into same folder on ~/.config/swaync 2.) Edited config.json to schema: "$HOME$/.config/swaync/configSchema.json" 3.) Edited $HOME$/.config/swaync/configSchema.json backlight device to default: amdgpu_bl0 (since thats the one on my /sys/class/backlight 4.) swaync-client -R 5.) launch swaync on tty. got a warning. Could not find device /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

Expected behavior control of brightness since I dont have intel

Don't edit the configSchema, copy the default config from /etc/xdg/swaync. The configSchema is only used to get JSON completion with supported editors

so in other words its not fully supported..

What is not supported? Any backlight should be supported

the default config.json from the /etc/xdg/swaync does not have buttons grid, volume, backlight.. etc... thats why I added in the copied config.json from /etc/xdg/swaync all the extras that I wanted.

but when I launch swaync through tty, I have got that message that cannot find intel_backlight, because I dont have intel backlight. That is why I thought about editing that configSchema.json to remove that intel_backlight and change with what backlight I have. which is amdgpu_bl0 but when I relaunch swaync, it is still looking for intel_backlight

Have you edited the backlight widget-config?

"widget-config": {
    "backlight": {
      "subsystem": "backlight",
      "device": "amdgpu_bl0"
    }
}
