| Jul 21, 2013 at 20:32 | comment | added | Joseph R. | Interesting tool. I will give it a go. What I actually meant is: how come the regular user is allowed to change backlighting through (for example) a keyboard button but not through the command line? | |

| Jul 21, 2013 at 13:32 | comment | added | slm♦ | @JosephR. you can use xbacklight to expose this capability to userspace. | |
| Jul 21, 2013 at 7:55 | comment | added | Joseph R. | @slm Do you happen to know if there's a wrapper/helper tool that lets you control brightness as a regular user? | |

| Jul 20, 2013 at 20:08 | comment | added | slm♦ | @KioMarv - is there anything under /sys/class/backlight? | |
| Jul 20, 2013 at 19:57 | comment | added | Kio Marv | Hi! When trying the first line I got: bash: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness: No such file or directory. Inside /sys/class/backlight there is only a link named toshiba that points to ../../devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/TOS1900:00/backlight/toshiba/ | |
