Does that mean xbacklight is not in the MX17 repo? Or that you installed it and it doesn't work in MX17?installed MX 17 yesterday. Facing the same problem on it. I am not able to save the brightness level set in the last login. It gets set to maximum level every time I log in. I didn't find this problem on other distros like Ubuntu. Please suggest a solution for it....Please fix that if it is a bug.

Re: Display Brightness
Xbacklight is in the Debian Stretch repo: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/xbacklight. It's not installed by default in MX-17 but I don't think it was installed by default in MX-16 either.asqwerth wrote:April 2017 post:I assume xbacklight worked for you in MX16.linuxcrazy2017 wrote:Great.

Re: Display Brightness
I am required to set the brightness level every time I log in. I just want MX 17 to remember the brightness level set in the previous login. Please suggest a solution.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Re: Display Brightness
For all non-systemd distros, I use the following:linuxcrazy2017 wrote:I am required to set the brightness level every time I log in. I just want MX 17 to remember the brightness level set in the previous login. Please suggest a solution.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#Place in /etc/pm/sleep.d/
case "$1" in
resume|thaw)
echo 40 > /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness
;;
esac
Code: Select all
/etc/pm/sleep.d/
You'll need to edit it so it reflects your system (mine is using an Nvidia card - hence the /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness) - also you'll want 50 instead of 40.
BTW, this is for resume from sleep, for boot you'll need to copy the echo 40 > /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness line to
Code: Select all
/etc/rc.local

Re: Display Brightness
for those that are wondering, systemd takes care of brightness in most other distros.
you can test it on MX with the systemd boot option in the "Advanced" grub menus.

Re: Display Brightness
Can we not get this issue sorted out in MX 17 non-systemd mode?

Re: Display Brightness
Just write your own simple script that runs at start up containing
Where you change DP-4 for your monitor output and 0.6 to what ever brightness you like.
I don't know if this will last through a suspend and resume on a laptop though ?

Code: Select all
xrandr --output DP-4 --brightness 0.60
