Hey, I see it's been 13 days. I hope you can pull in my branch some time because I do believe it represents an improvement to nvidiabl. Thanks! --David
I was already implementing this pull request until I remembered to check the already existing ones...
:+1: for this!
Thanks for making this module! It worked for me. This is my first pull request.
First, it adds the ASUS G75VW gaming laptop to the list in nvidiabl-laptops.h. That line is based on the hardware info for my laptop which you can see here: https://gist.github.com/4301964
Secondly, I added a minor feature to nvidiablctl, which is "get" command for getting the brightness. As soon as I got brightness control working, I wanted the "get" command so I can see the details of what is happening.
Third, I fixed a minor typo in an error message in nvidiablctl.
Finally, I have a question: The nvdiablctl script works great for me, but my backlight function keys do not work. I have an AUS G75VW-DH72. Both function keys produce the same output in acpi_listen; both produce the following line:
PNP0C14:00 000000ff 00000000
Since they both produce the same output, I don't think I can use acpi events to get the hotkeys working. I was able to get the hotkeys working by using the propritary nvidia driver and setting the appropriate options, but I would like the backlight hotkeys to work under nouveau. Any advice on that? What is the basic block diagram for how the backlight hotkeys are supposed to work? Thanks!
