Install sysutils/acpi_call kldload acpi_call acpi_call -p '\VBRC' -i [0-15] There seem to be some differences on the range, but in my T530 0=off and 15=full. Unfortunately, the brightness functions do not generate X events and I have not seen any posts on how to tie them to anything to adjust brightness. -- R.
