           Summary: The "Change screen brightness" keys don't actually
                    change anything
           Product: unknown
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ralfjung-e at gmx.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

My laptop has two keys (Fn+F7 and Fn+F8) to change screen brightness. The
global shortcuts in KDED automatically got correctly assigned, and when I hit
one of the keys, I get a bar on the screen (similar to the one to change my
speaker volume) showing the current brightness. However, it does not actually
change brightness, just displays the current value. I can perfectly well change
it using the power management plasmoid, and the changed value is reflected in
the KDED on-screen display triggered by the keys.

I am adding this to "unknown" since I have no clue which part of KDE is
responsible for this.

Reproducible: Always
