Hi Michele,
So everything is completely different in the end.
I've done a bunch of tests and installs and the only problem is the
Nvidia 390 legacy drivers. If I use the nouveau drivers on my existing
installation, the brightness can be controlled without any problems, but
when I use the official nvidia (390 legacy) drivers, the brightness
cannot be controlled.
So it's definitely not a TDE problem. It's a problem of nvidia drivers.
I apologize for the confusion. I didn't think of this at all during the
inquiry.
Cheers

The brightness control is performed via sysfs - ie brightness device
in /sys/devices/. If the driver does not publish this standard method,
this is the cause of the problem.
The same way is also for suspend and hibernation, as well as the response
to the closing of the lid - everything goes through sysfs.
Cheers

not supported.
Command `dcop tdepowersave tdepowersaveIface do_brightnessDown 90`
return "false". Command dcop tdepowersave tdepowersaveIface
brightnessGet` return "-1".
Other command seems look OK - eg:
`dcop tdepowersave tdepowersaveIface do_suspendToRAM`
S pozdravem
Ok, this sounds like a regression.
Two things:
1) could you please create an issue report on TGW?
Use this repository for the issue:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdepowersave
Instructions here:
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/TDE_Gitea_Workspace#To_report_bugs_and
_sugg est_enhancements We can then continue the discussion there, it's
a better place for this kind of things.
2) I will probably need some more info as I look into this. If I need
to test a patch, are you able to build tdepowersave eventually? If you
are not familiar with that, I will point you to a set of scripts that
will make building it relatively simple. All you will need is enough
disk space. This may be of big help to troubleshoot this issue.
Cheers
Michele
