<div dir="ltr">Hi Carl,<br><br>Running the patched xfce-power-manager --no-daemon produces the following output on my Dell E5420:<br>(xfce4-power-manager:2584): xfce4-power-manager-WARNING **: Failed to get keyboard max brightness level : Method "GetMaxBrightness" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight" doesn't exist<br>
<br>However Fn+[Right Arrow] still circles through 5 levels of brightness - as I understand this is supported through the BIOS.<br><br>Any ideas ?<br>Thanks and BR<br>Nir Gilboa<br><a href="mailto:gilboa.nir@gmail.com">gilboa.nir@gmail.com</a><br>
