Description Casu Al 2022-05-22 04:32:21 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Enable kde-unstable repo in arch linux
2. Upgrade to latest plasma version
3. Change brightness through keyboard button or power applet

OBSERVED RESULT
The slider/brightness jumps around randomly and does not stay at proper position, and can never reach hundred percentage. As a work aroud i am using brightnessctl and disable dim screen on power management settings. 

EXPECTED RESULT
The brightness gets changed properly as in older versions

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Cannot reproduce with current git master; everything works fine for me.

Did you remember to reboot after upgrading?

Can you try restarting the powerdevil daemon with `kstart5 -- ~/kde/usr/lib64/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil --replace`? Does that fix it?
