Re: [ddccontrol-users] broken support for SUN in 0.4.1?

[Miroslav H. <bm...@st...>]

Hello,

 I have patched it, but I don't see difference :-(

 but control with ddccontrol works, for example
 with:

 "ddccontrol -p -r 0x10 -w 20" I am able to set
 brightness, but gddcontrol doesn't show any
 control buttons.

 this also works with unpatched 0.4.1

 In 0.3 I see that program is searching for xml file in
 /usr/share/ddccontrol-db, but not in 0.4.1...

 I really like this program :-) it will be great if 0.4 will
 be working with my monitor.

 thanks!

 I attached output from patched ddccontrol...
