Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to get my old laptop to blank its screen when I'm not using it, so it can be a small home server. It *should* be easy, but wsconsctl display.brightness doesn't seem to exist at all, so I can't set it to anything.
After going around in circles between abl (installed, apparently? dmesg says "abl0 at acpi0: PNLF (backlight)" and the documentation for abl, acpi, and and a few other things, the only thing I have to show for it is that my GPU & video card isn't supported (Nvidia) - which since I'm not planning to run X11 isn't a big deal, I still have a console. I don't *think* the GPU controls the backlight, anyway? Does anybody have suggestions as to where I could look to somehow activate the abl driver so I can actually change the backlight brightness? Or if it's active as dmesg seems to be saying, how to get display.brightness to even show up as something I can try to control. Thanks, -Rhonda
