Make xconf configuration permanent

I edited the xconf file, and added this line to device section:

Enable brightness control=1

Now I am able to adjust brightness, but after every restart the brightness setting change back to 100%.

Is there any solution for this?

Solution 1:

To adjust brightness in xubuntu or ubuntu Open a terminal window, and execute this command to edit /etc/rc.local:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Add this before the last line “exit 0″:

echo xx > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

Where number xx is the value of your screen brightness of your choice.

The maximum value for brightness can be found with:

cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness

Solution 2:

Fix brightness control issue with Intel card in Ubuntu:(check which card is there:settings/details/graphics)

Open a terminal and create the following configuration file, if it does not exist:

touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Now we need to edit this file. You can use any editor be it a terminal one or graphical.

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Add the following lines to this file:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"

EndSection

Save it. Log out and log in back. The brightness control should be working through function keys now:

Solution 3:

create a file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf and include following in the file.

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
    Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that works here
    BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Solution 4:

In /etc/default/grub make sure you have acpi_backlight=vendor in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

Here is mine:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"

Then run update-grub and reboot.

Fixed it for me, HP ProBook w/ Intel Grpahics card, fresh 14.04 Desktop install.

Solution 5:

Type this command in Terminal:

xrandr --output LVDS-0 --brightness 0.5

0.5 is used to decreased to adjust screen Brighness.

Should work Perfectly.

if not

xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 0.5

will do the job
