Control desktop monitor brightness in TC
« on: December 06, 2011, 06:25:57 PM »
Hi guys.

Had a poke around the forums, and not really getting anywhere with this, as most of what's there appears to be aimed at laptops.

The OSD of my monitor has failed, so I can't control any of its parameters that way. The rest of the monitor works fine.

Is there an extension I can use to control screen brightness? I searched AppBrowser with the term brightness, and got no answers.

Cheers, Jon.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'll try xbacklight tomorrow. I'm only running Xvesa. Hopefully that won't be a problem...

Cheers, Jon.

It might need Xorg, yes.

Hi Triophile
Though not optimum, if xbacklight does not work, try xgamma:
Code: [Select]
xgamma -gamma 1.1Valid values for gamma are 0.1 to 10
