I've got to get something figured out. This laptop will absolutely blind you when you open a browser, or anything with a white background. I have the backlight set at 40% in win10 and that works well. Here it looks like it is on MAX continually. I will keep at it. If anyone has any other idea, let me know. Thanks.
I don't believe this! I have I can effect the brightness with xrandr, but the output name is 'LVDS-0' instead of 'LVDS' (as it is on my other laptops). I don't know if this could be the whole problem with the normal backlight controls not working -- anyone have any idea? I'll just modify the xbacklight script to call xrandr instead of xbacklight and pass it fractional values between 0.5 and 1.0. Strange indeed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
