About the Pinebook - What to expect

[Luke]

Hello,

I've received my pineboox 14" earlier this week and I'm loving it! I removed the default desktop environment and use lxqt instead. However, I am not able to change the screen brightness. Does anyone have any advice on how to change the screen brightness?

Dont know the DE, but I read though a few posts over at manjaro and it seems there should be a brightness slider under power settings applet (battery ?). Otherwise you'll have to do it from terminal ...

Here's what happens when I try to set the brightness via the console:

Code:

pine64 in ~ ➤ xbacklight -50

No outputs have backlight property

Any ideas?

P.S: why can I only post one message per day? It's not like this forum has thousands of new subscribers every day and you need to limit how many messages they can post to avoid chaos?

Brightness settings are in /sys/class/backlight/lcd0

Perhaps reading this will help.
