    touchscreen computer screen controls

    i have 2 IEI ppc-5170gs touchscreen computers that i got for nothing as the screens were faulty and IT just bought new ones,

    one of them i have just sorted the ccfl's out and fitted a power supply so it runs on 12Vdc not 240Vac ready to put this in my mk1 astra (kadett-D) to playing music, films and using satnav etc.

    but i have found there is no way of controlling the screen brightness except through the intel extreme 2 display settings (the motherboard has a LVDS Connector a bit like a laptop so no external screen controls as its driven from the MB)

    i created a normal mode and driving mode (brightness and contrast set to min) i can chande to driving mode by right clicking on the screen (well in my case holding finger on screen) and selecting different modes, but im unable to find a option to use a shortcut key to do this?

    anyone have any ideas so i can flip from one mode to another a bit quicker?
    or if there is a keyboard out there with a function button so left and right arrow keys (or up/down) work like on a laptop for screen brightness?

    Usually the intel utilities have options for setting hotkeys. Beyond that all I can think of is finding another program that does automation and will make the changes when you run a script. Then you can just have 2 scripts and not have to click around manually.

        Replace the laptop keyboard. You can usually find one for less than $30 and they are easy to replace. Meantime, use an external keyboard.

        thanks your information.

          Or use AutoHotkey. You can define your own hotkeys with that nifty scripting language and it only requires a few lines, you can do it in 10 minutes without any prior experience.

              it has no keyboard lol (it came from a steelworks and it was used to monitor a furnace's pressure supplies etc so only used touchscreen) i use the onscreen windows keyboard if i need to type owt, once its fitted in the car then it will have a small wireless keyboard with touchpad
