Advanced tips for the Samsung NC10

[Ɗα√ϵς§]

Thanks, checked 14_setkeys and it is executable.

I tried the new brightness procedure davecs wrote yesterday. Still no help.

I thought perhaps the sudoer file was screwed so I ran up visudoers, deleted the entries and re-entered them. Still no help.

Still pluggin' away. Hopefully I'll stumble across the error soon.

Did you do the kernel update? Which one are you using? It seems that different kernels produce different keycodes... maybe you should run "xbindkeys -k" in a terminal and test what codes your keyboard is returning.

If you are using the brightness procedure from the "regular" forum, the sudoers file should onl affect the wireless.

Found it!!!!!

I had to change localhost in sudoers to the name of my computer!
Switched over to the advanced brightness and it worked, so did drakroam.

On the brightness procedure from the regular section - It works partially.

I had to add a line for backlight-toggle to the sudoers file to get it to work at all.
The Fn - down arrow lowers the brightness to minimum right away. The Fn - up arrow has no effect. The Fn - F5 keys bring the brightness up a notch but no down at all.

And yes the system is all up to date including kernel 2.6.27.31.

Hope this helps.

Strange. Have you left the previous kernel installed, and if so, which one are you actually booting to?

Maybe different versions of the hardware give different key readings, in which case can you open a terminal as USER, and type the following lines:

Code: [Select]

killall xbindkeys
xbindkeys -mk

The first line stops xbindkeys to stop it having any effect, the second puts up a small window, which you should click on with your mouse. Then if you press in all the Fn-F key combinations, you should see what codes they are returning on your system. You may have to change the codes in your .xbindkeysrc file.

Hi davecs,

I definitely boot into 2.6.27.31.

All keys programmed using your scripts and instructions work as advertised in the advanced section. The only difference from your instructions is that my terminal prompt says rick-nc10 rather than localhost. I replaced localhost with rick-nc10 in the sudoers file and everything started working.

The only problem now is the "regular section" brightness control.

Great job on the keys!!! Thanks

Rick.
