    xbacklight and Knoppix 7.7.1

    ON the same computer, xbacklight was working well with Knoppix 7.4 and 7.6.

    It is not working for Knoppix 7.7.1. The command:

    Code:
    xbacklight -get
    returns:

    Code:
    No outputs have backlight property

    As a followup, using the function keys for brightness (in my case: fn+Alt+F5 or F6) seems to be remembered. So, at least for me, there is a workaround.

    The "No outputs have backlight property" error is apparently because xbacklight does not choose the right directory in /sys/class/backlight. Running:

    Code:
    ls /sys/class/backlight
    shows that directory is named intel_backlight.

    We should then be able to specify the directory by setting the Backlight option of the device in xorg.conf, configuring the section "Device" as follows:

    Code:
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    
    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
    EndSection

    Actually only these 2 lines need to be inserted:

    Code:
     
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
    Should also have mentioned the link for the solution to that issue:
