No way of changing the screen brightness in Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS on a acer TravelMate
I finally got my Fn brightness keys working ! Here is how:
- Reboot
- Go into BIOS by holding down F2
- Go to Main tab
- Change
Graphic Mode
fromSwitchable
toDiscrete
- Save changes and exit
- Continue boot
- et voila !
But … my screen resolution had become low, and everything looked as if someone had trod on it … somewhat squashed …
I was able to fix that, too:
- Open
/etc/default/grub
with root privileges in your favorite text editor - Change
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x360
toGRUB_GFXMODE=1360x768
(my screen resolution is 1360x768) - Run
sudo update-grub
Additionally, I ran sudo prime-select intel
- I do not know how much that helped.
After that, it finally worked.
And, after 1 to 3 reboots (I dont know how much exactly), I finally even got the folders in /sys/class/backlight
back ! :)
