Slimlock configuration
on a macbook air 4,2 i could not get the suggested configuration for slimlock on lid close to work:
DISPLAY=:0.0 su -c - username /usr/bin/slimlock
i had to use:
su -s $USERNAME /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/slimlock"
(suggested complimentary configuration)
Screen Brightness
I had no luck with a screen brightness step of 1, in acpi handler. Adding these clauses to handler.sh works better.
video/brightnessdown) bl_dev=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 actual_bl=`cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` # Lower brightness has no effect until it is lowered enough to change actual_brightness. # Brightness less than 10 causes problems when increasing! while [ $actual_bl -gt 10 -a $actual_bl == `cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` ] do echo $((`cat $bl_dev/brightness` - 1)) > $bl_dev/brightness done ;; video/brightnessup) bl_dev=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 actual_bl=`cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` # Change in brightness has no effect until it is changed enough to change actual_brightness. while [ $actual_bl -lt 100 -a $actual_bl == `cat $bl_dev/actual_brightness` ] do echo $((`cat $bl_dev/brightness` + 1)) > $bl_dev/brightness done ;;
