Debian Hardware :: Adjusting Brightness On A LCD Monitor?

May 15, 2011

i got an AOC 18" lcd, the instructions that came with it, are only for Windows and Macs, if i press a button at the base of it, a square appears with all the pictures to configure including brightness, but i can't click on the screen. The cd that came with the monitor, i assume only works with Windows/Mac, i haven't inserted it for fear of screwing up.

PS: when i pass the mouse over the square, the pointer disappears.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Adjusting Screen Brightness

Feb 19, 2011

After installing Fedora 14, I can't seem to make my screen brightness go above the absolute minimum. I've tried editing /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness to change the current setting from 20 to 100, but I can't save it, even when logged in as su, it returns "Invalid Argument" when I try to enter the filename of where to save. What do I do?

Debian Hardware :: Control Screen Brightness With DDC / CI Capable Monitor

Jul 5, 2014

I bought a new computer, pretty awesome machine, AMD FX6300 with a Radeon 260X graphics. Along I bought a new Led monitor AOC with DDC/CI capability.

It is my understanding that with the DDC/CI, monitors can have their brightness controlled just like laptop screens do, but better software controlled.

This is something I have done before with nvidia graphics, the open drive had the control and the proprietary only needed a small config setting. This was done however in a dekstop iMac, the screen also LED and HDMI.

So I just freshly installed debian jessie in this setup, it seems the open source driver does a pretty good job, but still missing the brightness control and audio through HDMI doesn't work either.

Ubuntu :: Adjusting Monitor Size (not Resolution)

Jul 16, 2010

The image on my external monitor is blurry. the resolution is right, but the Monitors menu shows the monitor to be a 20" while it is actually a 19". So this may be a hint. I would like to know how to adjust the monitor size (if possible). How can this be done? I am running 10.4 on a dell precision 4400, connecting with the monitor via VGA.

Debian Hardware :: Getting Lenny Working On Macbook / Can't Use Brightness Keys To Change Screen Brightness?

Feb 9, 2010

I'd been trying to get into Linux before I bought it so I figured that I would try to get it onto my new Mac so that I could use it wherever I am. I decided to try Debian Lenny 5.0.3 a whirl after reading about all the different distros available. I've successfully installed it and I can get to it with rEFIt, and I have quite a few things working such as the video drivers and wifi. However, I've had trouble getting it to a level where it'd be usable away from home. Here are the main problems I'm worried about:

1) I installed pommed but I still can't use the brightness keys to change the screen brightness. I'm not sure if there's some other workaround for this?

2) I tried some recommended power management packages (gnome-power-manager) but it doesn't seem to be accessible or functional right now. I don't have any way to control it or get to it that is obvious to me. Is an icon or anything supposed to appear on the task bar when you install or what? Getting some sort of power management on here is important because it gets really lousy battery life otherwise.

3) Being a Macbook, there's no right-click button. Multitouch would be really nice (two-finger scrolling!) but I'd be OK with ANY way to right-click with the touchpad. I have a wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo that works at home at least . . . right out of the box too!

4) I've seen some packages called the Mactel PPA, but they are made for Ubuntu. Since Debian and Ubuntu are so similar, is there any way to make those work on Lenny? I think that if I got those to work, I could fix some of the problems above. Or do I have to install Ubuntu?

5) I just noticed that the sound doesn't seem to work yet either.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.04.1 - Need To Reduce Monitor Brightness

Dec 19, 2010

Ubuntu 10.04.1
Nvidia gpu ( Asus GeForce GTS 450 Series graphic card)
DVI connection to monitor (Dell 2405)

Using a VGA connection I can use the buttons on the monitor to control both contrast and brightness. Using dvi there is no control(no contrast control and the brightness button changes the numbers but not the actual brightness!) I cannot find the app that controls the Nvidia GPU
(it should exist as I found it on Zenwalk).

Hardware :: Increase LCD Monitor Brightness With Software?

Aug 6, 2010

I have a ViewSonic V1912Wb-4-- It recently got broken. I got to it repaired. However I cant force the brightness or the contrast of the monitor to increase or decrease, it is just stuck!

In my WinXP I can adjust this with software-- however I cant change anything on my slackware 12.2!

Do you think I need to install softwares like Argyll CMS?

I am using the default graphics drivers. I cant find anything for my built in graphics card of my Asus motherboard P5S-MX SE.

General :: Quick Way To Change Monitor Brightness At Night?

Dec 8, 2010

I'm a fairly nocturnal creature by nature, but life requires me to spend more time during the bright hours of day. I also have a visual impairment which makes it that my eyes take a very long time to adjust to darker situations. I need to be able to easily dim my screen so that using my computer doesn't keep me awake as much and doesn't prevent me from doing other stuff.

I will accept both a hotkey based solution "like on most laptop" as a timed one. My main monitor lacks simple brightness/contrast controls. f.lux doesn't suit my needs, since it only changes the screen's color temperature. I'd like the solution to work regardless of the make and model of the video card involved. Wearing sunglasses is impractical, since they make it hard to interact with objects around my computer.

Debian :: Laptop Brightness Gets Set To Maximum On Boot

Jun 10, 2010

My laptop brightness gets set to maximium each boot.

Just wondering if this is the case for other laptop users. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad SL500 (GeForce 9300M GS) and am running Testing.

Ideally I'd like it to remember my last setting (which is usually the lowest). It'd be nice not having to turn it down each time I reboot/power-on.

It actually starts off at a low setting but during the boot process (before gdm and just after the "Waiting for /dev" line I believe) it suddenly gets set to max.

Debian :: Can't Adjust Screen Brightness Using Fn Keys?

Nov 24, 2015

When I first install debian I couldn't change the screen brightness at all not manually nor with function keys, but I tried some of the solutions I found on the internet and now I can change the brightness manually (from the power management or the battery icon) but when I use the function keys it takes them like 2 to 3 minutes to respond and cause the system to hang (even mouse curser not responding) and then I'm forced to manually reboot the system, here is some information :

Code: Select all$ ls /sys/class/backlight/
acpi_video0  intel_backlight
 
Code: Select all$cat /etc/default/grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

[Code] .....

And I've tried this:

Code: Select allsudo -i kwrite /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

And I add the following in this file

Code: Select allSection "Device"
        Identifier  "card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"

Debian Configuration :: Should Change Brightness Of Screen

Mar 30, 2016

I've an asuspro (more precisely the p2520la version) notebook with the fn+f5, fn+f6 buttons that should change brightness of the screen. But they don't work. For volume it's ok (fn+f11/f12), and if I go in the system settings I c an change manually the brightness (I use kde so there is a bar with which change it). But when I'm outside and the screen brightness is low I found difficult to find the menu settings and the hardware buttons would be better.I've tried adding to the kernel the "acpi_osi=" command but doesn't work.

Debian Multimedia :: Gnome Resets Brightness After Log Out

When I logout out of gnome, the brightness reaches maximum level. I've tried adding a script to adjust the directory "/sys/class/backlight/intel_ backlight/ brightness" to the rc.local file. I'm not sure if it has to do with my video card but it certainly could be the case since I'm using an experimental package for the Intel graphics card.

Debian Hardware :: 7.8 - Laptop Brightness Control

May 7, 2015

I have an issue with Debian 7.8 (wheezy) on my laptop. I've had to reinstall Debian on my laptop and since then I've had issues getting brightness controls to work properly.

It's a Core i3 370M processor with Ironlake graphics, I've had this issue before with Ubuntu and I sought [URL] ..... I've tried the steps that worked for Ubuntu (thinking they'd be the same as they're both Debian based) and it hasn't worked.

What should I try to get it to work? Since I have updated my grub config (as per the Ubuntu fix), brightness doesn't work at all and my screen now tiles ever so slightly when moving the cursor from side to side. I'll revert those changes if need be or if this issue cannot be resolved.

I've tried to install the Intel graphics drivers from 01.org, however I get an issue with libglib dependencies not being satisfied ( libglib2.0-0(>=2.37.3) ) that how to resolve.

Debian Hardware :: External Monitor As The Main Monitor For A Laptop

Sep 22, 2010

I recently installed Debian, using the amd64 Network Install .iso. I'm using XFCE4 as my desktop environment, and everything is working well... on my laptop's screen.

My desired setup is to have my laptop sitting on a well-ventilated shelf, closed, and to have an external monitor be my main monitor. I want this because I'm using my laptop as my "home" computer, so it never moves, and I don't like the keyboard/trackpad. My laptop has a VGA output, and I can get my desired setup on my Windows partition (not stating a preference ; just that the hardware CAN do what I want it to).

I've been working my way around the Internet for a few days, now, and I've got the commercial NVIDIA driver installed. If I run sudo nvidia-config --twinview I can get my external monitor to be part of the display, which is great, but it's part of a dual-screen monitor setup, which is not what I want at all, because (a) XFCE's multiple virtual desktops are good enough for me and (b) my graphics card is integrated, and I'm trying to squeeze every drop of performance out of my laptop that I can (1 gig of RAM; the less that my graphics card eats into it, the better). Plus, it'd be annoying to accidentally drop something on my laptop's screen, and then have to dig it out of the shelf in order to undo it. I'm not saying that I'm consistently clumsy, but I'd eventually end up doing it.

Debian Hardware :: Broken Brightness On Thinkpad X230

Oct 27, 2015

I have Lenovo ThinkPad X230 (model 23202TG) laptop. I can not control brightness via Fn-keys. Tested with default 3.16 kernel and 4.2.3 kernel from backports. After system startup brightness set to max and Fn-keys does not work but correctly detected by xev.Tried to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" to kernel boot parameters, as suggested at ThinkWiki but this does not work.

In the logs I found this messages
Code: Select allkernel: thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.25
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS G2ETA4WW (2.64 ), EC unknown
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad X230, model 23202TG
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: Unsupported brightness interface, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are enabled
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver
kernel: thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default...

After some googling I tried to add acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" and acpi_backlight=native to grub kernel options but this also does not work. On other hand I can adjust brightness by echo-ing some value to sysfs.

Here is some information
Code: Select all$ ls /sys/class/backlight/
intel_backlight
$ cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness
4438
$ cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

Debian Hardware :: Changing Display Brightness Causes Laptop To Restart

Jul 15, 2015

Today I installed debian-8.1.0-amd64 on my older Samsung Laptop (Model r560). The installation without a desktop environment worked fine and the system booted without any problems into the virtual console. There was however one problem: when I was away from keyboard for some time, the screen turned black and when I came back and hit a button to wake the system up, the laptop immediately restarted. Later I installed the gnome desktop environment. This also worked fine.

But whenever I try to change the screen brightness in the gnome-shell, my system immediately restarts and successive attempts to boot debian fail. Some time later and after countless attempts to boot debian, it finally does boot again. By "debian fails to boot" i mean the following: The initial ram disk is loaded and fschk runs. Usually the system suddenly reboots at this point. SOmetimes, however, the video mode changes, the console font is changed and some services are getting started, but then at some point the system also restarts. I don't reach the point where a login prompt appears, or the graphical environment starts up.

Assuming, it has something to do with buggy acpi implementation of my hardware, I tried the following:

I tried to disable acpi completely by using the kernel parameter "acpi=off". This doesn't work and causes the kernel to hang

I tried to start debian without using a GUI using the single parameter. This also didn't work.

acpi_backlight=vendor also did not fix the problem.

Debian Multimedia :: Increasing And Decreasing Screen Brightness Crashes Minecraft

When increasing or decreasing the screen brightness, Minecraft crashes and to an extent freezes my computer UI. What I mean by to an extent is that I can move the cursor around, but I can't click on anything. I can also run keyboard shortcuts and type, which is how I restore my system by terminating all java processes with pkill.

What causes minecraft to crash and how can I solve it?
