There may be multiple devices in the dir. For example, there are 2 devices in my system: "/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0" and "/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight", and the structure: $ ls actual_brightness brightness max_brightness subsystem bl_power device power uevent To get the max_brightness: $ cat max_brightness To get the current brightness: $ cat brightness To set the brightness to 10, for example (must be "root"): # echo 10 > brightness I think you could try to set the brightness from 0 to max with each device and see if the issue persists. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
