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 -- Petr Palacky

tdepowersave is runnig and I am able to initiate sleep or suspend via context menu. But in settings I am not able to set automatic brightness - this section tell me that an automatic brightness is 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`

Ok, this sounds like a regression. Two things:
- 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.
- 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
