On Mobian, rc.local is not enabled by default, you have to set up a systemd unit file for it. This is the command to run at boot or from ssh as root:
echo 400 > /sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness
(The number "400" is an example, higher number is brighter screen. I'm actually using 600 - not sure what the max is.)
Shoot, I figured this was a case. I was hoping there was a way to set up a minimum/maximum brightness in the settings or in `sys/class/backlight` somewhere.
