I have an aspire timeline with intel grafics running the latest daily build karmic. I am unable to control brightness except for the method explained in comment #2 (setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=66) When running xrandr --prop it does not have support for backlight control: # xrandr --prop Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 345mm x 194mm EDID_DATA: 00ffffffffffff0030e4020200000000 00130103802313780a28659759548e27 1e505400000001010101010101010101 010101010101561d56c6500020303020 350059c2100000190000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000fe004c 4720446973706c61790a2020000000fc 004c503135365748332d544c41310039 scaling mode: Fullscreen supported: Non-GPU Fullscreen No scale Aspect 1366x768 60.0*+ 1360x768 59.8 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
