http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hello,I am starting to appreciate the efficiency of #!.However there is a little hurdle because I am not that experienced in Linux.xfce power manager does not have adjustment for default screen brightness at boot-up.When my laptop boots to #! the screen brightness is at 100%. The Fn key brightness up/brightness down works, but i migrated from Ubuntu/Mint. I can set the default brightness to lowest using gnome-power-manager at ubuntu.How do I go about doing this in #!? I installed gnome-power-manager but the screen brightness is still at 100% (HowTos)

Definitely a laptop problem, hopefully not a hardware problem.

When I try to adjust my laptops screen brightness, it goes to some very low brightness and then the screen starts flickering (ie changing between different brightness levels). When my laptop boots, it's at full brightness, and when I adjust that, flickering starts. After that I cannot get it back to any non-very-low brightness.

Overview

My problem is that the hotkeys to change brightness of my laptop are not changing the underlying setting in Gnome.

Hi all,

So i've recently installed Kubuntu 13.04 on my Vivobook V300 and i've just noticed a strange bug with my keyboard brightness FN keys. If I use the Brightness Down button it works as expected, however if I use the Brightness Up key it seems to scroll through 3 different brightness levels before returning to the first and repeating the process.

Default Screen Brightness 12 weeks 2 days ago

My son has a new Lenovo G580, and it works great with 13.04, except for one minor thing... How can I set the default screen brightness? He has to manually increase the brightness once the laptop is booted up, because it wants to black out the screen for some reason.

Can't Adjust Screen Brightness 36 weeks 4 days ago

I tried using Fn+<- to turn the brightness down, and it showed the little sun icon indicating the brightness was turning down, but it didn't do anything. I also tried xbacklight -set 100 but that didn't do anything either.

How can I adjust my backlight?

Is there a way to prohibit Powerdevil from messing with the screen brightness?

I already tried to disable the tick box "Let PowerDevil manage screen powersaving" but that does not fix it. It still controls brightness.
