I don’t think mine changes when i set the brightness? I really don’t pay much attention to it.
Edit: On my HP i am using Cinnamon desktop. In power management it has a setting for screen brightness. The settings dim the brightness when inactive is on. It gives a brightness setting. 30% or whatever i want to set it at. It also has a timer. Dim screen after inactive for and i can set it. It’s set for 90 seconds. So what ever your desktop is may there are settings to turn this off?
I’m using KDE Plasma and I haven’t found any setting to change it.
I have screen dim disabled.
I have two lenovo laptops. Both are different. At least one has KDE so I’m checking it now.
On KDE under energy settings it has screen brightness level and that can be turned on or off?
It has Dim screen on or off and timer settings.
It has screen energy savings to turn off with a timer.
Edit:
If i have screen brightness turned on and i set it at a level 70% or what ever the brightness keys don’t change this setting at all. I can adjust brightness up or down and this doesn’t change with it. So i assume it is a setting for it come back to after it has dimmed to 30% and you wake it back up.
This is all I know. Is your constantly adjusting on you?
Do you have power devil installed?
Yes I do. I only have this package installed
That’s all i have also on KDE. If you read the Arch wiki it explains all you can and cannot do. All hardware is not the same.
Well, I’ve had a look into that and didn’t seem to find anything that could help me out with that.
I guess I’ll just have to find out, if possible, how to disable the sensor for the brightness
What bothers you about it? What is it doing? I don’t have any issue with screen brightness on any of these laptops? It has a brightness level, the screen shuts down when not in use. It comes back when in use. The brightness doesn’t change unless there is a reason for it to change.
I think that is not related. This is back light, and that is different than ambient light. Also forgot that my zenbook is running 6.2-rc kernel where this is natively supported. Previously I had to use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/als-dkms and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/als-controller-git but that started to have issues with non-LTS kernels. Not sure about your hardware, but if the device is registered it should register with ACPI and should be one of the devices here /sys/bus/acpi/devices
Edit: Try installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hw-probe and create a probe, it should show you if your device is supported and it will show if ambient light is working correctly
Have you found it?
One year later.
