Description Adam 2023-09-06 11:36:14 UTC
I can't set the keyboard backlight level.
With the FN+F7 hotkey, I can completely turn off the backlight, otherwise it flickers gradually from light to strongest. The keyboard is Logitech G413 Gaming and the backlight is red only.

Can you please attach the output of running `find  /sys/ | grep -i brightness` in a terminal window?

Thanks. It looks like your keyboard exposes brightness data only for a few specific keys, and not for all the keys in general. As such, our config UI doesn't have the tools it needs to support the keyboard's brightness stuff properly. This is an issue with how the keyboard represents its brightness features to the Linux kernel, so I would recommend submitting a bug report about it at https://bugzilla.kernel.org.

Thanks again!
