SUMMARY Feature request: Currently Neon cannot take advantage of the brightness control of external monitors the Brightness and Color applet provides. I noticed it doesn't ship ddcutil by default. I'm unsure if the simple addition of that package is enough to provide that functionality, but maybe it's something worth looking at. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-21-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 6 × Intel® Core™ i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 570 Series
I guess we should also add this to https://community.kde.org/Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations?
hi. neon has been shipping powerdevil compiled against libddcutil for quite a while. we don't ship the ddcutil binary by default as it not required, the lib suffices. unfortunately ddcutil brightness control is somewhat of a hidden feature as laptop internal screens always grab the brightness control interface first and as of yet powerdevil does not support brightness controls for multiple screens. there are a several MR 's relating to this under review at the moment
