Can you control the backlight level via 'xbacklight'?

As I wrote not. For some reasons it changes nothing. This is what I tried: gameaccount@linux-o0nd:~> sudo xbacklight +10 Cannot open display "" gameaccount@linux-o0nd:~> xbacklight +10 gameaccount@linux-o0nd:~> xbacklight -10 -- 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.

I was using 12.0 m5 as a live CD(KDE) and no additional tweaks sofar. The behaviour has not changed at all. I still can trigger an On screen menu when I press the brightness buttons on my keyboard. I can still move the slider in the powerdevil plasmoid. But still it has no effect towards the screen brightness. I also cannot change the brightness with "xbacklight +/-1", as before. However, I can turn the screen on and off with the keyboard - as before. so, nothing has changed, afaik. -- 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.

Hence the issue won't be fixed for this product. In case the issue still is reproducable with a supported product (openSUSE 12.3/13.1 at the moment) or with openSUSE:Factory, please feel free to reopen.
