Info on control brightness in vm or vga out #4

Open docop opened 2 years ago

docop commented 2 years ago

Hi I would like to know if your soft can also be able to control the output or the overall bright/dimm of a session ? Like if we run xrdp, can it be possible to have it dim ..

Also, while i did install your app over arch EndeavourOs , on a hp microserver Gen8 with a vga port, it don't do anything. not quite sure.. xrandr --current do give all rez possible .. but will try over a nuc later.

thanks

Hi docop,

My software does control brightness/dimness of a session.

Like if we run xrdp, can it be possible to have it dim

This is a very good question and I hadn't considered a remote-access scenario. My guess is it should be able to because the screen is dimmed on a software level. If you happen to test it, please let me know the results. Although it sounds like you already have and it did not work according to your next piece of info.

Also, while i did install your app over arch EndeavourOs , on a hp microserver Gen8 with a vga port, it don't do anything

There's a lot of layers to this situation. Could you provide more details? Would the tray app show, but it wouldn't dim? If you run $ screendimmer in console, do you see any tracebacks/errors?

Thank you for reaching out with these details.

Hi so while i did got an issues i guess with the hp, over a nuc, all did run. As for the remote session.. no. Perhaps it need to be link to the color or display setting of xorg in order to adjust virtual session or so.
