Title: [SOLVED] Crunchbang problem
Post by: th3g00n on December 09, 2012, 10:56:35 AM

I just had Crunchbang installed on my netbook, a HP-MINI 1100. The only problem is that the buttons for media, volume, wifi and brightness control don't work. I actually don't need all these to work, I only need to be able to reduce the brightness to save battery.

Never used openbox, but configuration seems similar to fluxbox, which I use.

In my case I had to customize the key bindings to be able to control volume with the keyboard.

Code: [Select]

There you have how to know the name of the keys (xev) and how to configure them.

Thanks for the help man. Finally solved with, not with that though. This is what I used:

Code: [Select]

th3g00n@crunchbang:~$ lspci
th3g00n@crunchbang:~$ sudo setpci -s xx:xx.x F4.B=xx

Where B=xx is the value for the brightness level I want. Neat stuff, might devote more time to learning linux.

Yeah I never had to do anything to get openbox to work with my brightness button. Glad you fixed it though.
