And what is your usual method?greengeek wrote:Also - the script does not work the same way my usual method does
The script alters brightness as sensed by xrandr which AFAIK is not the same as the physical backlight intensity of the monitor. A value of 1.0 seems to be relative of the physical backlight intensity.the script seems to alter the gamma instead of backlight intensity
The script always resets gamma to 1.0 for all 3 colors. So yes, your gamma will be altered if it was set to different values. Reducing brightness results in washed out colors and IMO increasing gamma would result in a more pleasant and sharp display but that's not for me to decide.
