Hello! # uname -a FreeBSD titanic.rootkea.me 10.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 r274401: Tue Nov 11 21:02:49 UTC 2014 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 My brightness control keys don't work. When I press "Decrease brightness" key nothing happens whereas when I press "Increase brightness" key the continuous string of . (dot) appears on the application running in foreground. I tried `kldload acpi_video` but then when I tried to decrease the brightness at first nothing happened and the suddenly brightness dropped to minimum. Then when I tried to increase the brightness to normal by pressing "Increase brightness" key the system went to reboot automatically. So how do I control the brightness of my FreeBSD box? -- Avinash Sonawane (RootKea) PICT, Pune http://rootkea.wordpress.com
