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 the ASUS X200MA uses a monitor(screen) that is one of those hard-core proprietary only screens that is totally non-compliant with Free-software. I have xbacklight installed, but it doesn't do anything.
