Question

I\'m using SLES 11.

Answer 1

Here is the simple step to control brightness in Linux based system

First, you have to know the monitoring screen connected you.

To know this run this command

xrandr -q

It will give useful information about the screen

( Here my screen connected to eDP, It might be different for your system )

After knowing that run the below command

xrandr --output eDP --brightness [0-10]

Replace eDP by your connected screen from the above output.

you can choose normal brightness values from 0.1 to 1.0
