Still doesn't work in Saucy. For me, none of the following, cause any change in screen appearance, nor to they bring any response in lxterminal other than a new prompt:
xbacklight -get xbacklight -set 100 -time 0 xbacklight -set 20 -time 0 xbacklight -set 2 -time 0 Running Saucy in plain openbox, no lxde other than lxterminal. Also, as an aside, I think #4 may be misleading in saying "The xrandr program also works fine." These commands work fine: [code] # Sets the "brightness" (i.e., thev transparency) of the LCD layer very dark: xrandr --output VGA-0 --brightness 0.1 # Legitimate values are 0 to 1 # Sets the "brightness" (i.e., thev transparency) of the LCD layer all the way up: xrandr --output VGA-0 --brightness 1 [/code] but, unless I've misunderstood man xrandr they DO NOT affect the actual brightness of the backlight. In a well lit room, the effect looks very similar, but in a dark room the difference should be apparent. It may be I haven't figured out the syntax correctly, but for me in Saucy, none of these do anything: [code] xrandr --output VGA-0 --set backlight 50 xrandr --output LVDS-0 --set backlight 50 xrandr --output --auto --set backlight 50 xrandr --output auto --set backlight 50 [/code] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054298 Title: xbacklight doesn't work, but xrandr does and so does /sys/class/backlight To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1054298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
