I found a workaround using a script that is triggered by inotify.
I created the script called brightness in /usr/local/bin:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/brightness
content:
--
#!/bin/sh
path=/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight
luminance() {
read -r level < "$path"/actual_brightness
printf %.10f\\n "$((100 * level/max))e-2"
}
read -r max < "$path"/max_brightness
xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness "$(luminance)"
inotifywait -me modify --format '' "$path"/actual_brightness | while read FILE
do
echo $(luminance)
xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness "$(luminance)"
done
--
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/brightness
Remarks:
- The script waits for change in
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness.
- "intel_backlight" might be replaced the corresponding directory name in
/sys/class/backlight according to your installation.
- eDP-1 may be replaced by the display name (might be eDP1 or different). Check
the correct display name using the xrandr command.
Add the script to the in the system setting to be executed at login.

Title:
OLED brightness control on Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Hi
I'm testing kubuntu 20.4 with my HP spectre x360 13 aw0720nz.
The hotkeys to adjust the OLED brightness do not work.
Adjusting the display brightness editing the file brightness in
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight doesn't work either. At
/etc/default/grub I already added "acpi_backlight=vendor"
I found an article, that fits to the topic:
