Thanks for all the great constant updates to Mer, its definitely very usable now with the keyboard fn fix. I just wanted to add that the keyboard leds can be turned on manually by changing the value of
/sys/class/leds/keyboard/brightness
I hope someone can make a little script to turn the lights on when the keyboard is open and off when its closed. The keyboard state is available at
/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state
Hope this helps get the keyboard backlight working for n810 users
I don't have advanced backlight installed as i am still tinkering with my xfce4. I will install it today when i get some time and try to locate the file for you.
EDIT: Ok i was thinking of advanced-power instead of the pre-installed advanced backlight :-) I think it can be easily implemented in a way that changing the brightness will write to to both files; screen brightness file and keyboard led one. Maybe be a different slider can be added to control the keyboard brightness. User rm_you maybe can shed more light on this.
when i try this in my N810 it says: No value to set for key: ´true´
double check your command, you probably forget to include -t bool in your command to define the type as boolean and then you can give it the true value
I seem to have a problem. I installed Mer according to the instructions in the wiki using the installer on my N810. After the final reboot....nothing. I dont seem to be able to boot onto Mer, neithe with holding the swap key nor otherwise. Any ideas?
PS.: it also seems to have f...ed up my keyboard (german keymap) *sigh* FN key doesnt work anymore...
PPS: ok, i found out what the problem was:
The "device" entry in /etc/bootmenu.d/mer-simple-ext.item was ${EXT_CARD}p3 instead of mmcblk1p3. I suppose that is a bug?
Keyboard is still f...ed up, though.
