After much playing around here's a little more info If I set the brightness with xawtv and close it the brightness remains set as long as I don't use v4lctl Without xawtv running if I run "v4lctl show" the brightness always returns to the preprogrammed setting. Here's a sequence that may help
v4lctl bright 1000 # picture gets dark v4lctl bright 1000 # picture returns to preprogrammed setting v4lctl bright 1000 # picture remains the same v4lctl bright 1001 # picture gets dark v4lctl show # picture returns to preprogrammed setting My problem has been that every time I run "v4lctl bright 1000" I followed up by running "v4lctl show" to see if the setting changed. "v4lctl show" showed the new setting but actually reset it. Richard On Wed, 12 May 2004, Ronald S.
