19 mk 6 mint auto backlight
19 mk 6 mint auto backlight
Hi I was wondering if anyone else with a 19 mk6 running mint had luck with the ambient light sensor? I have kinda given up on my front buttons and my luck with screen calibration worked somewhat. The thing that bugs me the most is the auto back light, turns out I kinda got used to it. Any advice or direction on this one?
Re: 19 mk 6 mint auto backlight
I have a MK6 on order, but not in hands yet. I know Shawn has one and I think is using Zorin. He'll chime in soon I would think. The Mk 6 is similar to newer CF-31's so Sheepman might have some insight. Have you tried booting any other distributions of Linux yet i.e. Debian based such as MX-16, LMDE2, etc.?
CF-53 MX-Linux 21 Wildflower
CF-30 MK2 SSD MX-21 Betsy, MK2 Navigatrix, Fundraiser for TbT
CF-52 GUN SSD MX-19
(NICE) Thanks Sadlmkr
CF-M34 MicroWattR8 Thanks Sadlmkr
CF-M33 MicroWattR8 Thanks Springfield

Re: 19 mk 6 mint auto backlight
I only have mint and Kali (light sensor does not seem to work on either) along with Windows on this machine. I will make a USB of Zorin and try that. Kali runs my touch screen much better then mint.
Re: 19 mk 6 mint auto backlight
Is light sensor a USB device? We want to find the backlight in dmesg to see how the kernel is dealing with it.
does away with need for capitalization. i as in IDA.
This may require a line by line read of dmesg.
Systemd might be grabbing control and not letting it go as it does with the gobi card gps (Gobi2000).
Give LMDE2 a try.....or LinuxMint 17.3???
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/backlight Might be worth a read for some clues. Writing a .conf is probably the answer once we know the naming convention.
Zorin is Ubuntu. Look for answers in the Ubuntu forums.

Code: Select all
lsusb
Code: Select all
dmesg | grep backlight -i
First we need to find out what the critters name is.
Code: Select all
-i

Re: 19 mk 6 mint auto backlight
I must be doing something wrong I actually lost the whole command line with the second piece of code. The dmesg by itself gave me a bunch of code I have been looking through. I found alot of usb errors listed though. Sorry kinda learning linux as I go along

Re: 19 mk 6 mint auto backlight
thank you. I had stumbled upon that asus link about 20 minutes ago. I was working backwards from a thread I found about disabling it. Ubuntu Forums

I will try this method in a few minutes. I'm trying to teach myself all this stuff as I go.
Once all this stuff gets ironed out someone should compile a toughbook version lol
