Re: cinema display Brightness-control woes.

Hi List members

When checking a new keyboard our IT technician discovered that f14 and
f15 keys raise and lower the monitor brightness! This feature is not
useful in our student lab with profiled monitors and I need to disable
it. How do I disable this feature?>

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
What I have ended up doing for our Lab of 17" ACD's is making a screen grab of the brightness slider at the time the monitor profile was generated and saving it in a folder labeled 'profile info' in the .../colorsync/monitor folder. We are now teaching our photography students to compare the screen grab to the brightness slider so they can see if it has been changed.

If any one has a more elegant solution I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks again
Peter Miles
