For the brightness shortcut keys to work, I generally do the following:
1. Run acpi_listen
2. Use the problematic key.
3. Watch output of acpi_listen, we want the first new line that pops up,
and first part before the space unless it says "hotkey" (in which case
we would like the full line).
4.
Interesting idea: make a user function and place it in .bashrc!
I tried:
xbacklight -steps 1 -set 75
a@a-X200MA:~$ xbacklight -set 75
a@a-X200MA:~$ xbacklight -dec -30
a@a-X200MA:~$ type xbacklight
xbacklight is hashed (/usr/bin/xbacklight)
{no effect}
With no effect, I am thinking that maybe th
I use "xbacklight" to change the amplification of my screen.
I have the following code in my ".bashrc" file:
function light () {
if [ $# == 1 ]; then
xbacklight -steps 1 -set $1
elif [ $# == 0 ]; then
xbacklight
fi
}
I would like to use the above in a root daemon, but I noticed that my old
root daemon that worked in Lubuntu 14.04 LTS didn't work when I pasted it
into the special file that you just mentioned: /etc/rc.local (before the exit
0). Is there any reason why it doesn't work in Trisquel 7.0?

Interesting that you should mention it, there is a folder
/sys/class/backlight/asus-nb-wmi/ that I didn't notice before. I tried:
echo 100 >/sys/class/backlight/asus-nb-wmi/brightness
{nothing}
But what worked for me was:
cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
7182
# echo 95 >/s

I have screen brightness issues on my older lappy. Basically this old, very
old lappy would reset the brightness to the lowest setting each time it
rebooted. What I did to fix it is this ->

This is really weird, why can't I edit my post to finish about what happened
after the last boot???
Anyway, after Attempt 05, again, just like the previous attempts, no positive
results. I can't see the screen at all in the day and it's WAY too bright in
the night.
I encounter a brightness issue on a newly installed trisquel7.0, my stats:
