Your method works, you saved my eyes. I can change brightness level with "acpi_call -p "\_SB.ATKD.SPLV" -i $[1-10]. Thanks a lot! I've made keyboard shortcuts for brightness control. Maybe someone may need it -- here I leave the recipe: 1) Granted access to acpi to anybody from wheel group by adding the following to /etc/devfs.conf (don't forget to restart devfs service after changing the file): perm acpi 0660 2) Created two tiny scripts in ~/bin: brup.sh... #!/bin/sh if [ ! -f /tmp/brightlvl ]; then echo 1 > /tmp/brightlvl fi lvl=`cat /tmp/brightlvl` if [ $lvl -gt 9 ]; then exit 0 fi lvl=`expr $lvl + 1` echo $lvl > /tmp/brightlvl echo $lvl exit 0 ...and brdown.sh #!/bin/sh if [ ! -f /tmp/brightlvl ]; then echo 10 > /tmp/brightlvl fi lvl=`cat /tmp/brightlvl` if [ $lvl -lt 2 ]; then exit 0 fi lvl=`expr $lvl - 1` echo $lvl > /tmp/brightlvl echo $lvl exit 0 2) Added the following to ~/.fluxbox/keys (if you use another WM/DE then you'll have another way to bind hotkeys): Control Right :Exec acpi_call -p "\_SB.ATKD.SPLV" -i `brup.sh` Control Left :Exec acpi_call -p "\_SB.ATKD.SPLV" -i `brdown.sh` Now I can adjust brightness by pressing Ctrl+Left/Ctrl+Right. Somewhat more convenient then typing the command in the terminal.
