KDE6, Freebsd14.3. Backlight state of the built-in display is not saved. Is org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper supposed to save backlight state on freebsd?
The backlight helper, by the way complains that the locale is not C.UTF-8 and is US-ASCII (as seen in /var/log/messages), even though /etc/login.conf sets it as C.UTF-8.
I should add: on REBOOT. It does save it between sessions if I don’t reboot.
I should also add: It DOES save the SLIDER VALUE between reboots, but on reboot, the backlight is set to 100, regardless of what the backlight slider shows visually.
The way I mitigate it right now is save backlight value on shutdown and restore it on boot up.
I think maybe the problem is with KDE assuming that the hardware doesn’t reset the backlight on reboot. But it does. And so KDE should trigger a backlight update on each new session after a reboot.
