Re: Squeeze. nVidia video. How to change brightness with functional (Fn) keys?[SOLVED]
FWIW, another way to adjust brightness is by using a shell script or alias. This command cuts brightness to 25%. ---cut--- sudo sh -c echo 25 /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness ---cut--- There are only certain fixed steps that are allowable. -- Joel Roth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
