Linux Mint 15 screen settings(brightness control)
How do you adjust the screen brightness on Linux Mint? Do I need a special app for it the way you do for the screen lock?
Solution 1:
Two options (mint 17.1):
- Go to menu -> power managment.
-
Use terminal to download xbacklight, e.g.
sudo apt-get install xbacklight
Type xbacklight and see available commands.
I used xbacklight -inc 10 a few times till reached desired brightness.
Solution 2:
For anyone using Linux Mint 16 Petra , the settings are now under the name 'Screensaver & Lock settings'. Although I dont understand the reasoning behind the naming.
