http://askubuntu.com – I have Ubuntu 12.10 I need an application/software that can increase and decrease my brightness. I know I can do it through my pc monitor but I don't want that. I want to control it through a software. I personally cannot find an application about this issue. I know that it is possible because the OS has the Fading effects before Screen Savers. I want to control brightness through a software for desktop pc. (HowTos)

Brightness controll not working 37 weeks 4 hours ago

I'm using Samsung RV 520 installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but the problem is I'm not able to control the screen brightness, not only this whenever I try to increase/decrease the screen brightness the laptop stuck-and I have to restart. Any help? Please Developers fix this bug. thanks

I have a Samsung Series 5 NP530U3C laptop with an Intel HD 4000 graphics card. I've found that I can't control the screen brightness with either the GUI tools (e.g. KDE's Power Management or the equivalent in Unity) or the function keys on the keyboard.

However I can control the brightness by writing directly to the files in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0.

Hi everyone. Just installed Fedora 17 on my Samsung NC110 netbook because I'm loving it on my desktop. At first the brightness control worked fine, but after I ran the software update it doesn't work.

Hi

I've got a laptop with the Intel GMA 4500 chipset, and my Ubuntu system is using the i915 driver.

I've gone through a few different versions of Ubuntu, and other linux distro's, each one unable to control the brightness. This is obviously eating up my battery life, since the screen is at a constant 100% brightness, when I usually use about 35% brightness.

Hi Fedora Users!

I've got a very annoying problem. Although the F2 and F3 function keys work fine in terms of adjusting screen brightness, there is a but. I must always be careful not to decrease brightness to zero with F2 because whenever I do it, I cannot increase it back with F3, the screen remaining almost black.
