I see - what display manager do you use that behaves correctly?

I tested a few, none of them restored the backlight after logout.  Only gdm3
had working backlight control, so at least I could turn it back on.  lightdm,
sddm, and lxdm all returned to a black screen with no backlight control.  Same
with startx and exiting to a text console.

Whoa, I've never seen zoom control that also affect the size of the menus.
That's kinda weird, but it works.

Thanks for the digging out the links.  I'm still a little unsure.  I see why
you say that, and I bet you're right.  But I think distro folks may look at the
text and decide it's not clearly permitting non-commercial use: it doesn't say
anything either way.

I'm not confidant the site has the right info.  For instance, they redistribute
many of the TeX Gyre fonts as "free for commercial use".  But that's not
correct, they have a real license and it prohibits redistribution of derived
works without a name change.
