[Bug 332495] Re: Sony brightness keys doesn't work in Kubuntu Jaunty but in Ubuntu

[unggnu]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: systemsettings
  
  In Jaunty the sonybright.sh script is removed from /etc/acpi because acpi-support is deprecated afaik. This script was important for the brightness hotkeys to work.
- In Ubuntu the keys still work so I guess it is a Gnome program/function which does the job because it doesn't work in Kubuntu.
- I am using current Kubuntu Jaunty. Btw. changing the brightness with the power management plasmoid works but not with the keys.
+ In Ubuntu the keys still work because gnome-power-manager reacts to them. The Kubuntu counterpart guidance-power-manager is in universe in Jaunty and doesn't change brightness when the brightness keys are pressed so I guess it is a missing function in the Power Management applet package. But I don't know its name. Btw. changing the brightness with the plasmoid works but not with the keys.
+ I am using current Kubuntu Jaunty.
  
  My laptop is a Sony Vaio TX2 with intel graphic. To manage  brightness
  the sony-laptop backlight class is used.
