If your native laptop brightness controls aren't working for some reason, you can use xgamma to make your X display brighter or darker. xgamma -gamma 0.5 <-- make screen dark xgamma -gamma 1.3 <-- make screen bright Play around with the numbers to get the ones that suit you. > > + one last but not the least issue i am facing is that my laptop has > got two jacks where i can plug my earphone/headphone.

Sounds like the second one is the microphone jack, and the sound you're hearing is a feedback loop between the mic and the speakers. Try plugging the headphones into the first jack and using a mixer app (kmix in KDE) to unmute the headphone channel.
