Haha, I solved the Bug! The ACPI key-scripts seem to echo 0-100 to the following location: /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness
...but that is false! The graphics card on my compaq615 is mounted to /proc/acpi/video/IGFX Enter this to get a description which kind of values are allowed by the driver: cat /proc/acpi/video/IGFX/LCD/brightness Create a test script and test it via sudo: #!/bin/bash echo 100 > /proc/acpi/video/IGFX/LCD/brightness Now I've got my full backlight again =) If you want to change the backlight of an external monitor, just... ls -l /proc/acpi/video/IGFX ...to see the "available" Monitors (connectors) of your graphics card.
