What: /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/als_setting Date: December 2014 KernelVersion: 3.19 Contact: Gabriele Mazzotta , Pali Rohár Description: This file allows to control the automatic keyboard illumination mode on some systems that have an ambient light sensor. Write 1 to this file to enable the auto mode, 0 to disable it. What: /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/start_triggers Date: December 2014 KernelVersion: 3.19 Contact: Gabriele Mazzotta , Pali Rohár Description: This file allows to control the input triggers that turn on the keyboard backlight illumination that is disabled because of inactivity. Read the file to see the triggers available. The ones enabled are preceded by '+', those disabled by '-'. To enable a trigger, write its name preceded by '+' to this file. To disable a trigger, write its name preceded by '-' instead. For example, to enable the keyboard as trigger run: echo +keyboard > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/start_triggers To disable it: echo -keyboard > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/start_triggers Note that not all the available triggers can be configured. What: /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/stop_timeout Date: December 2014 KernelVersion: 3.19 Contact: Gabriele Mazzotta , Pali Rohár Description: This file allows to specify the interval after which the keyboard illumination is disabled because of inactivity. The timeouts are expressed in seconds, minutes, hours and days, for which the symbols are 's', 'm', 'h' and 'd' respectively. To configure the timeout, write to this file a value along with any the above units. If no unit is specified, the value is assumed to be expressed in seconds. For example, to set the timeout to 10 minutes run: echo 10m > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/stop_timeout Note that when this file is read, the returned value might be expressed in a different unit than the one used when the timeout was set. Also note that only some timeouts are supported and that some systems might fall back to a specific timeout in case an invalid timeout is written to this file.
