Re: xbacklight: No outputs have backlight property

I guess what you might be after is called DDC/IC or MCCS:

Not sure what part of OpenBSD manages this.

 Hi!

 Not sure if this is possible but I'd like to dim my external display's
 backlight. Unfortunately this gives:

 $ xbacklight
 No outputs have backlight property

 One can do xrandr --output DP2 --brightness 0.5, but this only makes the
 colors less bright (as opposed to dimming the backlight).

 Any ideas?

 Thanks!
