When I alter my screen brightness, it will change again - up or down, seemingly with no pattern, but definitely involving repetition.
Strangely this is not entirely repeatable. I'm not sure what sets it off.
Running an MSI machine, with internal intel and second nvidia graphics cards. The nvidia only runs (as far as i know) when I use optirun to activate it.
Currently using a simple Openbox setup.
Openbox listens for the function keypress, which runs a bash script to change:
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightnessAt the moment my code only triggers a notification.
The notification pops up again, regularly.
This led me to read a fair amount about backlight, udev and ACPI events.
I am trying to work out what is "pressing" the function key.
It does not repeat indefinitely, but I can't see a solid pattern either.
Using acpi_listen, I can see that events are re-triggered or repeated generally every two minutes and one second.
As far as I can tell, 'video/brightness<up/down>' are the only ones that are re-triggering the event.
The others seem to just be spamming the log (that's possibly gross misunderstanding).
I would very much appreciate some enlightenment on this weirdness.
I'm sure I just have some conflicting code somewhere (perhaps between udev, ACPI or systemd?), but I don't know where to look.
If you want any specific info or logs, please ask (I don't seem to have acpid.log)
Some examples of what I see in journal:

I still can not figure out the cause of this.
Even when I was using (I think) deepin with it's built-in, functioning brightness control, it would suffer from the same issue.
Would really appreciate any insight
