that could help.. if it doesn't then you probably need to have knowledge about compiling drivers for led controller...

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

you can also try my custom brightness, the simple mod first, it makes the indicator led more bright, maybe also the keypad, i can't tell since i have been using my custom brightness mod and then simple mod since a few weeks after i got my N900

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

changed in the file "led_current" "50" to "100" (im now on 2000.. don't know how much is good for the leds)
in the following dirs

/sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb1#
/sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb2#
/sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb3#
/sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb4#
/sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb5#
/sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb6#

now the keyboard is brighter :)

edit
after closing and open the N again, the value is 50 again.
But whe are cloooooooooose :D

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

look to my custom brightness, the init scripts might help you here, it will tell the os to turn the light to a specific level everytime the keypad light comes on

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

download the zip, look at init.d and see what you "script" does an change the settings to only use the keypad

REMEMBER: DON'T INSTALL, JUST USE THE INIT & EVENT

event.d

Code:

start on started hildon-desktop

exec /etc/init.d/custom_brightness_init.d

init.d

Code:

#! /bin/sh



cat /home/user/custom_brightness_settings >/sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness

dbus-monitor --system type='signal',interface='com.nokia.mce.signal',member='display_status_ind' | while grep -q '"on"'

do

tide=0

while [ $tide -lt 5 ]

do

tide=$(expr $tide + 1)

done

cat /home/user/custom_brightness_settings >/sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness    

done

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

copied

"custom_brightness_init.d" to "/etc/init.d/"
and
"custom_brightness_event.d" to "/etc/event.d"

changed "custom_brightness_init.d" to

Code:

#! /bin/sh



dbus-monitor --system type='signal',interface='com.nokia.mce.signal',member='display_status_ind' | while grep -q '"on"'

do

echo "5000" >> /sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb1/led_current

echo "5000" >> /sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb2/led_current

echo "5000" >> /sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb3/led_current

echo "5000" >> /sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb4/led_current

echo "5000" >> /sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb5/led_current

echo "5000" >> /sys/class/leds/lp5523:kb6/led_current

done

is this right?

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

i think we need more Geniuses in here to help

by doing

Code:

lshal -m

i can see that the function that controls the keypad leds are 'platform_slide property button.state.value'
Here 'true' is keypad closed (off) and 'false' is keypad open (on)

I don't know how to link this to dbus-monitor, when using dbus-monitor it reacts to open and close but displays the same, of course even if the echo "5000" ... is used when keypad is closed, the leds don't light up.

'Erazor' if you want to try yourself the relevant commands are

Code:

lshal -m

Code:

dbus-monitor --system

AND YES

WE NEED A DEVELOPER / SCRIPTER TO HELP US WITH THE KEYBOARD LIGHTS !!!

perhabs a app would be nice to change the brightness like this in the settings for the display.

Did i hear a CSSU Devoloper to integrate this in the "Firmware-Update"

:D

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

Quite easily done using dbuscron or dbus-scripts to trigger when the KB is slid running a script to echo in higher values.

Unsure what the hardware repercussions of this are, though.

this does nothing other than light up some keys as you move the bar,it offers no control that the OP was asking for?

The Tool is nice ;) but we need a deamon or something else that starts on the boot and let they keyboard shine like the sun xD

Re: Increase keyboard leds power ?

also would like this as keyboard backlighting seems so dull compared to brightness in NITDroid

You could try the attached file.
It moves a "kbdled" program which I coded to /opt/maemo/usr/bin

Now you have to create a file in /etc/dbus-scripts.d/ with the following content:

Code:

#:Kbdled slider

/opt/maemo/usr/bin/kbdled * * org.freedesktop.Hal.Device Condition ButtonPressed cover



#:Kbdled inactivity

/opt/maemo/usr/bin/kbdled * * com.nokia.mce.signal system_inactivity_ind

(And of course you have to have dbus-scripts installed :D reboot)

Program should fade when you open up the keyboard from 50 up to 255 led_current and the same when your keyboard is still open but N900 is inactive and gets reactivated.

Hope it works (is my first program so please be gentle :) ).

what name should the file in "/etc/dbus-scripts.d/" have?

I went with 'kbdled'

edit: dont think it works for me either, when i open kb lights come on for a sec then go to 50 then increases brightness. but doesnt seem any brighter
