What: /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/start_triggers | ||

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 <gabriele.mzt@gmail.com>, | ||
Pali Rohár <pali.rohar@gmail.com> | ||
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. |
