Brightness changes during use
On my deck, making the brightness file read-only does not prevent steam from changing the brightness. When "Enable Adaptive Brightness" in display settings is on, steam raises the brightness in a bright environment on its own while this script is running.
I can reproduce this manually with the following steps:
- Close Virtualhere client on PC. (so that VirtualHere does not steal control)
- Run deckpad from gamemode.
- Enter sudo password.
- Hold "steam" or "..." and push left joystick up to raise brightness
I believe that steam does not use the brightness file in sysfs to alter the brightness, but rather communicates with the driver/kernel directly I don't know if there is another way to prevent steam from making brightness changes, perhaps the script could work around this by periodically changing the brightness back to minimum.
