Re: Screen Brightness
I think not, the same way you can't control brightness on Windows if you don't install correct GPU driver.

Re: Screen Brightness
You should also be able to set it just by clicking the items in the top right. But in ored to do that with AMD cards, you need firmware-amd-graphics package installed. Why wouldn't you?
Reboot.
Code: Select all
apt install firmware-amd-graphics

The OP is using Debian so perhaps blobs are an issue for them.Wheelerof4te wrote:you need firmware-amd-graphics package installed. Why wouldn't you?
Having said that, they should have bought hardware that doesn't require them instead, I suppose.

Re: Screen Brightness
I dont want to install it coz after installing the amd firmware i am getting this error [FAILED] Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0 ,after alot of working around and searching i think i could get rid of it by editing the parameter of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to "quiet acpi_backlight=vendor" in /etc/default/grub file ,which is fine but new errors appearWheelerof4te wrote:You should also be able to set it just by clicking the items in the top right.

Re: Screen Brightness
You should have included that information in the OP.Patino wrote:after installing the amd firmware i am getting this error [FAILED] Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0
Remove your fix from grub.cfg and try this command instead:
Code: Select all
# systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight\:acpi_video0

Re: Screen Brightness
Try to reinstall using non-free image. In order for firmware to be properly loaded, you need to burn it as a dd image. Refer to the installation manual on how to do that.

Re: Screen Brightness
That's a very odd statement; what about the thousands of posts on this forum where the user added firmware successfully by installing it from the non-free repo or a .deb file?Wheelerof4te wrote:Try to reinstall using non-free image.
