I cheered a tad to fast obviously. After issuing chmod 777 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/radeon_bl0/brightness I'm able to control brightness with the keys. BUT my computer seems to forget the chmod command after reboot. Is there any way to make this persistent ? EDIT: ...

Thanks for all of your help ! In the end, i had to chmod the /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness-file but it works now.

xbacklight couldn´t find any devices and redshift doesn´ t come with any real documentation BUT

(sudo echo 100) > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness

works.

Okay. But apart from coreutils and SpaceFM and RoxFiler and maybe QtFM: WHO GETS THE JOB DONE WITH LESS ?

pcmanfm here, too. Who needs more ? And who gets the job done with less ?

I know i'm the only one and there's evil qt dependencies but: Qupzilla is light and fast and stable.

I promise this is the last question ;-). I will have the perfect distro installed afterwards. I am able to control screen brightness with commands like root@hp655:/usr/bin# echo 50 > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness However i need root access to do so. Is there any way to bind my keys to a...

Thanks ! You rock as well as your uncles !

Ok, i have sound when playing MP3 in MPlayer (i even am able to control loudness within MPLayer) but none when i run a Flash-video. Installing Xfce-Mixer didn't help. That one only finds a OSS-HDMI-port which it refuses to control in any way. As mentioned before, i can add as many Mixer to the panel...

God i'm blind. Must be my fiddling with the backlight.

Did i mention that i absolutely love having enough ?

Well, if it had worked in *buntu but not with BBQ, it might simply be misconfigured OR the newer packages in BBQ might be the cause of trouble. That's why i like to check with *buntu. If something works there, there is has to be a solution somewhere so i just look at the config files and if these ar...

Linux- the story of try and -in my case- lots of errors. Welcome to where we put the experiment back into computing.

Don't use windows to try if you're not sure it worked before. Use one of the *buntus.

My children's computer both are 32bit (i686).

Ich bin weit davon entfernt, alles zu wissen und für die Hilfe wirklich dankbar. Sound ist zurück (ich habe den HDMI-Ausgang gemutet). Den Rest werde ich auch irgendwie hinbekommen. Denke ich.

Should i blacklist HDMI ?

I don't have a mixer in the panel and i am unable to add the volume icon. It just doesn't show. And since i am on battery sound is totally gone, too. I am not that dumb, you know. I am able to add a volume icon if possible ;-)

Yes and yes: I can control via alsamixer.
Do you know of a more handy way to do it ? The card is no Maestro/ESS.

My card: georg@hp655:~$ sudo lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 14h Processor Root Complex 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

While sound is working, there seems to be no way to control it on my laptop. I can't toggle loudness, because i neither have any mixer, nor does altering the sound level in MPlayer change anything. When i plug in my headphones, sound output remains unchanged (sound comes from the headphones, too, th...
