Through countless hours of searching, I've compiled two different scripts into one short bash.
#!/bin/bash # backlight control (sudo apt-get install xbacklight) # props to everyone in the ubuntu community ~shyce xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart app=`which xbacklight` current=`$app -get` ans=$(zenity --scale --text "Set LCD brightness 0-100" --value "${current%%.*}"); $app -set $ans Enjoy! Something was noted about xrandr not being needed anymore - which would comment out the first two line, is this true? If so, would you mind sharing exactly what needs to be done to update our xrandr? -- Unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks, Intel GMA adapter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
