Additionally, ACPI sometimes needs to register its own acpi_video0 backlight even if one already exists (such as intel_backlight), which can be done by adding one of the following kernel parameters:

This includes some laptops with dual graphics (e.g., Nvidia/Radeon dedicated GPU with Intel/AMD integrated GPU). This results in, for instance, inaccurate brightness notifications. Sometimes ACPI does not work well due to different motherboard implementations and ACPI quirks.

Attempting to set a brightness greater than the maximum results in an error. The brightness can be set by writing a number to brightness. $ cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness 15 The maximum brightness can be displayed by reading from max_brightness, which is often 15. $ ls /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ actual_brightness brightness max_brightness subsystem/ uevent The directory contains the following files and subdirectories: If you use an Intel card, simply replace acpi_video0 with intel_backlight in the examples. In the following examples, acpi_video0 is used. In the case of an Intel card, the directory is called intel_backlight. In this case, the backlight is managed by an ATI graphics card. The name of the directory depends on the graphics card model. An interface to this module is provided via a sysfs(5) directory at /sys/class/backlight/. The power level can often be controlled using the ACPI kernel module for video. The brightness of the screen backlight is adjusted by setting the power level of the backlight LEDs or cathodes.
