Control the monitor's brightness using powerdevil on pc desktop.

Hello.
I,m very newbie using linux in desktop pc, before i,d used linux on laptops with sleep option available. Well, currently I am using linux on a desktop pc with external hdmi monitor, and I,m not able to control monitor's brightness using kde systemsettings powerdevil to increase or decrease monitor brightness, the brightness control just doesn,t show up in kde systemsettings
If i try to control monitor brightness using xbacklight command, this is what I get : No outputs have backlight property
If i go to /sys/class/backlight the directory is empty . I can use the monitor's built in controls to increase or decrease brightness, but I would love to know why I cannot do it using kde powerdevil or xbacklight like i used to in laptops.
Regards.

Hi deggie and thanks for your reply. To cut a long story short, I simply went on Google and saved Picasa as a "favourite". Then it occurred that the sensible thing would be to get a free copy from iTunes..BIG mistake obviously. So I haven't got an app, because Apple won't talk to Picasa- (or vice verse or something..!) Drives me spare when the kids won't play together..
So in answer to my own question- yes, I can sync some programmes e.g. Google Docs, but NOT others (i.e. Picasa).
In desperation (!!) I decided to search out Apples version of Picasa -iPhoto. I gave up after half an hour as I simply don't have the free time to spend searching for the impossible!! (another nail in the coffin when it comes to buying an ipad next time..)
I did however have a bright idea that if I can share my photos through "Photos" maybe that's the way to go? If I access Picasa through the net on the ipad, and somehow transfer the images to "Photos", maybe that would work. So I'll spend a few hours trying that.

Can the ambient light sensor be used to control the monitor brightness?

I have a 3-week old iMac G5-17 1.9 gig machine. It seems wrong that the ambient light sensor is only used to control the level of the power light. Cheap TV sets have had this feature for decades!
Does anyone know if there is a way to apply the light sensor to the monitor?

Hello! Contrast in universal access set to normal, precalibration ColorMath RGB reduce but not solve the brightness dazzling, calibrate profile in expert mode don't work (a friend cameraman with "good eyes" try calibrate a profile with mix result).

Control the Post Date when use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC to PGI !

Dear all,
How can I control the Post Date (WADAT_IST) when I use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC to PGI?
Thanks to help me.

In ECC 6.0, I used this BAPI to perform the picking using this way:
1. Implement enhancement point BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_D01 in enhancemnt spot ES_SAPLV50I to set the update picking flag on delivery control structure.
GS_DLV_BAPI_CONTROL-UPDATE_PICKING = 'X'
2. Implement enhancement of standard BADI SMOD_V50B0001. Use method EXIT_SAPLV50I_004 to loop at table CT_VBPOK and update the fields VBELN and POSNN with suitable values.
There is one problem with this solution, though. The delivery quantity cannot be updated. Any increase in the delivery qty ITEM_DATA-DLV_QTY actually updates the picked quantity on the delivery. Consequently, there is little practical use of this technique.

What's the Story with Brightness using AutoTone

AutoTone brightness levels have been pretty whacked out on the PC version for a long time now. Are you guy mixing up native gammas between OS's or something. I mean it's pretty much consistently too bright on the PC version by like about +25. It's the consistency of the overly bright on the PC version by +25 that makes me think its something you guys can fix (take a look at). Of course some kid or really old guy will now respond with some (subjective/relativity, is your monitor calibrated stuff he learned this year on the internet nonsense) but that's par for the course I guess. Thanks guys for the the terrific work your doing.

Yea ssprengel, that's exactly what I've been doing (not using it much though any more). Wish we could at least edit the code in the preset where all it would do is shadow, highlight recovery and auto contrast. Those portions of AutoTone seem to work very well. Something maybe like;
settings = {
   AutoBrightness = false,
   AutoContrast = true,
   AutoExposure = false,
   AutoShadows = true,
   AutoHighlightRecovery = true,**
   AutoFillLight = false,**
   AutoTone = false,
**These are the one that do not exist and I wish they did.
By the way the "Fill Light" portion of AutoTone is also a disaster.

Control the playing of keyframe using a button.

i am using gotoAndPlay for playing from a particular key frame,but the problem is it plays all consecutive keyframes.I want to restrict it to the intended keyframe only.How to stop playing at the end of the keyframe???

Hii... thanks for your support....I have also tried gotoAndStop. It just goes directly to the indended keyframe and Stops.While i need to Stop after playing a particular key frame...
What I am actually trying to do is construct a complex figure. The construction consists of several steps. therefore i am using 1 keyframe for 1 step,whose playing is being controlled by two buttons ie.'Next Step' and 'Prev. Step'.So when i click next step after Step1, only the keyframe Step2 must be played... i have named the keyframes on a label as Step1,Step2,Step3... here is the code for Button 'Next Step' & 'Prev Step'
stop();
var n=0;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
nxtbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("step"+(++n));
prevbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick1);
function btnClick1(event:MouseEvent):void {
if(--n!=0)
gotoAndStop("step"+(n));
if(n==5){
n=0;
both the buttons are not functioning as requirement...

Controlling the Display of Animations using Advanced Actions

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 5.5 and having a bit of difficulty being able to control animations that are conditional on variables. I'm not sure what the best workflow is...
I have set up five questions using the enhanced radio buttons widget and there is a 'tick' animation and a 'cross' animation next to each question which I want to play depending on whether the answer was correct or incorrect.
In advanced actions I have set up five conditional actions so, for instance, IF 'question1variable = correctAnswer' then show the tick animation and hide the cross animation (Else... vice versa). These actions are linked to a 'check my answers' button.
I have all the animations set to play for the duration of the slide, and this works fine except the playbar moves on (I need it to pause so that the students can keep reattempting the questions).
How do I stop the playbar from moving on, so that the student can reattempt the questions as many times as they like, and each time the 'check my answers' button is pressed, the correct animation plays? I've tried things like rdcmndGotoFrame = rdinfoCurrentFrame - 1 (and variations of!) however, in this case the playbar will pause but the display of the animations becomes unpredictable and buggy
Any solutions or ideas would be most appreciated
Thanks in advance
Rick

Don't know if you can make this work but I did a similar thing using an action. I made the slide jump to slide=itself, eg if the question is on slide 17, I set it to jump to slide 17, in effect looping the slide -- but the user wasn't aware that was what was happening.There was a button to move on when done, but they could play all day. My questions were set to give rather complex feedback for both right and wrong answers. User could check each question and see the feedback on each choice. Don't know. Maybe..... I used to do this using a javascript but now (5.5) you can select the current slide -- MUCH easier.

I want to link my Mac Mini through my independent hifi system, which forms part of my home tv system which is the monitor I am using with the Mac Mini. The hdmi cable I am using comes from the receiver of the tv. I cannot get sound from the Mac Mini. Do

I cannot link my new MacMini with my TV's sound system. It's a Pioneer screen & receiver with an independent Pioneer Amp. The Mac Mini does not pick up the sound through the hdmi cable, so how do I get sound going through the MacMini so I can appreciate the music and films I want to hear. Do I need another piece of Apple kit? I have seen 'Express' on Apples web site. Surely I dont have to pay for this as well?
I used to have an Apple TV box which had a seperate audio connection from my Pioneer Amp and it worked great.
Help will be appreciated

The Mac Mini is going to be used for an Internet connection on the Pioneer Plasma/receiver so I can also play stored films from a seperate hard drive. The receiver has an HDMI connection which I have connected the Mac Mini too. the picture is fine, but there is no sound. I have checked the 'sound' settings on the Mac Mini and it registers the Pioneer PDP receiver is connected but states it has no audible connection?

Control the scheduling of DTPS using ABAP

Hi experts,
The requirement says that Dtps need to be executed without uusing Process chain.I have used std class_method viz cl_rsbk_dtp for executig the dtps.Thsi workks fine , but additional requirement is that the execution of DTPS should as per process chain, i.e DTps with master data need to be triggerred first and only then Dtps with transaction data needs to be excuted.Can we have an abap program to take care of this requirement?
Can any body help me with this
Help appreciated
Tx and regards,
KT

Hi KT,
Execution of DTP's one after other can be achieved using ABAP, if you dont want to use Process chains. check for the request id of the first DTP. Until the first request goes green, keep postponing the executuion of the next DTP. I guess the ABAper can help you on this. just he needs to validate the Request id and its status before triggering the next DTP. Ask your ABAper to copy the Generated program name of the transformations for the respective DTP's. These programs are nothing but a report program. Thus he can schedule the execution of these programs based on the status of earlier DTP.
Hope that helps..

Controlling the header size when using sub templates

Hi All,
I have a conditional header subtemplate which has a different company logo for each country. I have a header sub template which has the list of all possible logo's which are conditinally invoked from the main template. Everything works fine. But the header size if too huge. I have tried different options of reducing the margin-size, setting vertical alignment to the top, but none of them seems to make the header size any smaller. Pls help.
Thanks

How can I control the PP (monitor) volume using my computer volume controls.

I'm no longer able to control the PP (monitor) volume using my computer volume controls. I've always controlled the monitor volume using my computer volume levels, but starting today, that has changed.
The volume is just playing at the level recorded with no way for me to turn down or up.
I performed a disc repair and that didn't solve the problem.

Does the OS volume control affect anything? System beeps and sych?

Monitor Goes Brighter when CS6 Opens

I noticed that when I open CS6 the monitor goes brighter than the calibrated display. When CS6 closes, it goes back to the darker calibration. When I open LR, the monitor brightness stays the same. I checked my settings and the calibrated profile is the default. I have a Samsung laptop with Radeon ADM graphic and Intel Core i7, using Wndows 7. Can anyone direct me to fix this?

Put Message in the Monitor

I am trying to write a message to the monitor from the start routine of my update rules. I am using the below code:
      MONITOR-MSGID = 'RSM1'.
      MONITOR-MSGTY = 'I'.
      MONITOR-MSGNO = 799.
      MONITOR-MSGV1 = 'Load Error: '.
      MONITOR-MSGV2 = 'No Material for Specification: '.
      MONITOR-MSGV3 = wa_dp-ehs_spec.
      append MONITOR.
However, the only message that shows up in the monitor is "***** Scheduler". I do not get the error message text that I specify to show up in the monitor. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Hello Mark,
Depending on the BW version and the supportpackage level, an error can occur when the monitor functions are used. This is described in SAP Note 886222 Note 859813 - MSGNO is not displayed in monitor.
The monitor entries are filled with the custom messages in the start routine but the values in MSGNO and MSGV1 of the message are not passed to the monitor and are not displayed. This note corrects a problem that was introduced with note 859813.
If the BW system is on the support package level described below, the problem can occur.
BW release     3.0 B
Problem occurs in SP 28
Problem solved in SP 29
BW release     3.1C (content)
Problem occurs in SP 22
Problem solved in SP 23
BW release     3.5
Problem occurs in SP 14
Problem solved in SP 15
Hope this helps

Control "Rotate View Tool" (CS4) using Wacom touch strip

Hi, I am interested in controlling the rotate view tool using the intuos3 touch strip. This provides a much more paper like experience when rotating the page while sketching. Is this something that could be done with a plug-in? My development skills lie primarily in C# .net so C programming is a bit foreign to me, but I would be willing to develop it if no one else has looked into, or is interested in looking into this.
Thank you,
Nathan

After some digging I found a method. Open Wacom settings panel, goto the touch strip tab, select "Keystroke..." function, for up enter "r{Enter}{Shift}{Up}{Enter}" and down "r{Enter}{Shift}{Down}{Enter}". This will rotate your view by 10 degrees at a time. Remove the {Shift} and it will rotate at 1 degree increments; I found 1 degree to be far too slow. The only thing that would make this method a bit better would be a "select last tool" key-combo, as the rotate tool is still selected when finished. If any one is aware of such a command please let us know.
Thanks,
Nathan
