2012/3/9, Bruno Martins bmomart...@gmail.com: I have that file, but setting that value to 10 is the same as going to Screen GUI and scrolling the brightness to the maximum. Yes, that was the point. If you can set the brightness from the command line, you have a chance to automatically set it. Value doesn't get fixed after restart. Maybe GNOME 3.x is overwriting this setting. What do you mean by doesn't get fixed? /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness is not an ordinary file; it gets recreated whenever you reboot. That's why I suggested setting it in /etc/rc.local. Of course, this will still not help if gnome indeed modifies the brightness. But then there's probably a gnome-specific way to set it once and for all. There may also be a way to make gnome run your script after startup.
