Everything seems working fine - hybrid AMD graphics, media keys, suspend power management, screen power management/brightness controls.

Hi there. Just have a question about brightness control. Ihave always had this problem with XFCE desktops on my computers ( I read online where this is a bug with XFCE ). This only happens with XFCE and not with any other desktops

Everytime I reboot, my brightness control resets itself to zero. On my lenovo desktop, it resets itself to maximum brightness everytime. It may seem like a minor issue but its kinda annoying for me :)

Is there any way to set the brightness on my computer and have it stay at that setting on each boot ?? Thanks so much for any help.

Peppermint is a great distro and normally runs well. Thanks for all your hard work.

Sorry. I just relaized this should have been posted elsewhere. I put it here as there was a reference to brightness control in the postings above. My apologies.

Have you tried - https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/xbacklight
Here is a stack exchange for setting it up

[generalmooseance]

Thank you Peppermint OS for your prompt reply. Installed xbacklight. Seems there is alot to set it up and get it running :) The intructions given at stack exchange to install and run it are really a little bit beyond me. I don't want to mess up my system. I'll just leave it for now. Its not a huge issue overall. Thanks anyway.

No worries....I often use red shift for the whole color temp things.
Its the first thing I install on all my machines.... brightness gives me bad headaches...LOL
Its generally a automatic controlled tool based on time of day.
Its easy to use and install..
You can read about it here if you thinks it helpful.

Thanks Peppermint OS

I think you, generalmooseance, should make a new thread under "Hardware" so we can discuss ways of solving this. That way, others who might be interested in this subject will have a reference point where they can look.

Hi there Alnur. Thanks for suggestion. Will do.
