Laptop screen brightness
| # | Post |

| 1 | I have an old Compaq 6910P laptop, running Linux Lite, and used mostly just to read news sites. Screen brightness can be set using Fn/F9-F10. But it doesn't seem to stay at the selected setting. Any way it can be set to retain the preferred setting? Sometimes it holds the setting for quite a while, then reverts to a lower setting which I think must be a default. I have an idea that it may be reverting to this level after running updates. Any thoughts? rpvr - 2021-10-17 11:28:00 |

| 3 | I know when I was trying linux on my laptop, the brightness setting would not behave as it should have, it was a known bug and I tried all sorts of fixes but none worked, it kept reverting back to a dim setting. I gave up in the end and went back to MS. muppet_slayer - 2021-10-17 14:45:00 |

Yes, it will have less RAM usage and be much faster. Windows is better than Linux in every way. tygertung - 2021-10-17 17:42:00 |

You would be better off to ask on a Linux forum. Most people on this forum are generally uninformed about Linux so won't be able to help you much, other than valuable suggestions to install Windows on it. tygertung - 2021-10-17 17:43:00 |

| 8 | But I have discovered that the brightness can be set using xrandr. To find the name of the laptop's display: Thanks to all those on this message board who have helped me and many others over the years. I've found that even if I don't get the exact answer I am looking for, comments on here often help with finding the answer. Edited by rpvr at 2:10 pm, Mon 18 Oct rpvr - 2021-10-18 14:09:00 |
