i couldn’t find any info about it.
there are setting to disable those in Firefox,but I’d like to disable them on the hardware.
That would depend on your laptop model. Please post your system info as outlined here:

Check the user’s manual:
i don’t see how that would be helpful;
i briefly checked the user manual and couldn’t find any reference to the word “sensors”.
i do have 3 tiny holes next to the camera,so 2 are probably the mic. and the other is a sensor.
i don’t mean to disable it through the actual hardware,but logically.
Perhaps try Asus Zenbook Ambient Light Sensor Controller available in the AUR (Arch User Repository) as als-controller-git
.
thanks,but i will not go this way, there are too many variables for it not to work.
i thought it might already be available in the Kernel or elsewhere,like other hardware components are recognized by the OS.
Sorry, I linked the wrong repo, I corrected it. The AUR package uses the newer fork.
It is, that’s why it’s working. It appears the module may be called als
, see if it’s there:
lsmod | grep als
i get nothing from that command.
Well, let’s see what it is then. Please post the output of:

I can’t tell which module it would be.
Does Fn + A do anything?
what is it supposed to do?
when pressing on it i see the language icon on the panel blink once,but it doesn’t change the language output.
edit:
i saw it supposed to control adaptive brightness or Display Power Technology.
don’t bother @Yochanan ,
it’s to much of a hassle and not a big issue,
i was hoping for an “easy” on/off switch,or a widely spread solution to this,
but couldn’t even find any threads about it.
the AUR package is meant for another laptop(ZEN…),was last updated in 2020 and doesn’t have many comments.
the repo is from 2016 and tested on very old Kernels.
i think I’ll skip this one
