Installed the latest SL KDE version on an old Dell Inspiron 1420 which has a rather dimm display.When trying to install brightnes-controller from a ppa I got the follow result:

admin1@inspiron1420:~$ sudo apt-cache search brigtness-controller
admin1@inspiron1420:~$   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/brightness-controller
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
admin1@inspiron1420:~$

Does this mean I need to install an 'add-apt-repository' feature? Anyone know a solution?

Of course, use the official debian repositories. That's why they exist. And not crap for UbuntuTard.

• Package: brightnessctl (0.5.1-3)

Solution is adding it by pip python packages installer: pip install brightness-controller-linux

  Holy shit, what a way to complicate your life. Instead of using common sense, by using the official debian repositories:

Solution is adding it by pip python packages installer: pip install brightness-controller-linux

On github there is writen that you need also PyQt5  so install by the same method and from apt ddcutil also libddcutil4  should help and restart.

I installed those both to test if it works it shows thst not find ddcutil but sliders working.

You need install pip by sudo apt install pip or pip3 depends of python version in repository.

But i was find that to not break python dependencies use pipx and install by sudo apt install pipx

To run write in terminal: brightness-controller

Good luck.

I even ran xev, and although the letter keys showed up, the G1-G6 keys never registered.

I feel that Linux can't touch those keys. I mean possibly they can, but I have to do a lot of digging, and really isn't worth it.

I'm not mad, like throwing the keyboard out the window. It is a very nice keyboard. I just might take the G# keys off and just put some duct tape over it so I don't accidentally hit it.

Edit: The above is for gamepads.. :)

Yeah, I have contrib and non-free

I have those two programs already installed.

Input Remapper doesn't work.

The macro keys are set to the F1-F6 keys. But I do not know how to change these.

https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/

AntiMicroX is a graphical program used to map gamepad keys to keyboard, mouse, scripts and macros. You can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad on Linux🐧 and Windows 🪟.
It can be also used for generating SDL2 configuration (useful for mapping atypical gamepads to generic ones like xbox360).

Maybe something like that will help.

I now just guessing.

Do you have enabled repository contrib and non-free ?

It maybe with wine emulator i enabled that by sudo dpkg --add-architecture  i386

Find xserver-xorg-input-kbd and install or  xserver-xorg-input-libinput.

Then test again input remapper.

Good luck.
