OK, thanks. Now using workaround: $ tail /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup #Every time I start X Windows something turns my brightness to the #max, and I have to whack it back down by hitting Fn End. Nothing #tampers with the Linux console brightness, just the X Windows #brightness here on my Thinkpad r50e. #xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT 0 #or #echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness #often just gets e.g., thinkpad_acpi: #CMOS NVRAM (7) and EC (3) do not agree on display brightness level #However this seems to work: f=/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness if test -f $f then echo level 0 > $f logger jidanni whacking backlight back down in $0 fi
