Tip Top Tips: How To Make Your Monitor Remember Your Preferred Brightness Level |
|
Editor’s Note: Tip Top Tips is a semi-monthly column in The PCLinuxOS Magazine. Periodically, we will feature – and possibly even expand upon – one tip from the PCLinuxOS forum. The magazine will not accept independent tip submissions specifically intended for inclusion in the Tip Top Tips column. Rather, if you have a tip, share it in the PCLinuxOS forum’s “Tips & Tricks” section. Occasionally, we may run a “tip” posted elsewhere in the PCLinuxOS forum. Either way, share your tip in the forum, and it just may be selected for publication in The PCLinuxOS Magazine.
This month’s tip is from yogi.  Image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images from Pixabay In the old forum, there was an issue regarding the monitor not remembering the brightness setting on boot. To fix this issue, open the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local as root, and add this line at the end: echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness The number you put after echo is your preferred brightness level. If this fails, you can use xbacklight, and then add this line to auto start commands: xbacklight -set 10 Keep in mind that xbacklight rounds numbers, so 5 to 14 would be rounded to 10. |
