input-settings-handle-custom-accel-profile.patch input-settings: handle custom accel profile
gsettings-desktop-schemas 51.rc added the custom pointer
acceleration profile. Building against it fails because
G_DESKTOP_POINTER_ACCEL_PROFILE_CUSTOM is not handled in the
switch in set_accel_profile (-Werror=switch-enum).

Custom acceleration curves are not supported here, so keep the
device default profile. mutter's X11 backend also falls back to
the default profile for this value.

shell-implement-org.gnome.Shell.Brightness.patch shell: implement org.gnome.Shell.Brightness
Since version 49, gnome-settings-daemon no longer changes the
backlight. The shell owns the display brightness: gsd-power only
tells it to dim the screen when idle and passes on the target of
the ambient light sensor, through org.gnome.Shell.Brightness.
Settings shows the dimming and automatic brightness options only
when that interface reports HasBrightnessControl.

Nothing provided the interface in GNOME Flashback, so idle dimming
and automatic brightness stopped working.

Add GfShellBrightness, based on GNOME Shell's brightness manager.
It keeps a brightness for each monitor with a backlight, follows
the dimming and automatic brightness requests and exports
org.gnome.Shell.Brightness.

As in mutter's X11 backend, the backlight is the sysfs backlight
that belongs to the monitor, set through logind's SetBrightness,
or the RandR Backlight property if there is no such device. The
modesetting driver has no Backlight property, so most systems need
the sysfs backlight.

Also export org.gnome.Flashback.Brightness on the same object. It
has methods to step the brightness, which show the OSD, and a
Brightness property for applets.

media-keys-handle-the-screen-brightness-keys.patch media-keys: handle the screen brightness keys
gnome-settings-daemon 49 removed the screen brightness keys, as
GNOME Shell now handles them. In GNOME Flashback the brightness keys
did nothing.

Add the screen-brightness-up, -down and -cycle keybindings, and
their -monitor variants for the monitor under the pointer, with
GNOME Shell's defaults. They are grabbed in all action modes and
call org.gnome.Flashback.Brightness.

GTK 3 does not know the XF86MonBrightnessCycle keysym, so the cycle
keybindings have no default.
