Keyboard Lighting
by AllanP from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MESD)
No help on Ubuntu or mint so am trying here. It's frustrating constantly having to hit F10 to turn off keyboard lighting to save power.
Mint used to have an entry under system.d that in effect would deny keyboard lighting. It is no longer there so I was wondering if i could insert the file into system.d. I have a copy of the file which went something like this "<deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.UPower"send_inte rface="org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight"/>". This would cancel my keyboard lighting unless I wanted it. I have a Dell lapiron and the F10 key will turn it off and on. Without this entry the keyboard lighting keeps turning on.
So like I said could I insert that file into system.d somehow without causing a problem?
TIA
