How to adjust laptop screen brightness, contrast, etc.?
Is there some way to make screen adjustments while you are working?
Sometimes you want the screen to be brighter, or darker, more contrast etc.
Couldn't find out how to do this in Puppy.
Thanks.

If you have a crt, turn up/down the controls on the front of the monitor. If you have a TFT, it probably has OSD controls so just press the appropriate button(s) on the monitor. All this can be achieved at any time, independent of the OS. Some distros also offer SW to accomplish such operations, but why bother?!

For the record, since people are still being directed to this thread:
Running that echo command will put the xgamma command in the file ~/.xsession.
I'm not sure if Puppy actually uses .xsession, so let us know how it works.
No, not xorg.confDoes this mean I put that line in my xorg.conf file or another file, and if so does it go in the 'monitor' section or where ?

Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

As this is a similar thread, for anyone who still need a solution to control screen brightness in a laptop which, for any reason, does not have its brightness keys working, see CADEJO’s post at:

It essentially builds a pop-up menu at the TASKBAR to control brightness in JWM. I followed his brilliant workaround and managed to put back in good use a "sick" but still very powerful laptop (Sony VAIO, with Intel Core2 Duo P9500 @2.53Gh, 4 Gb Ram), which due to some spanking by previous owner (probably due to its OS (Ruindows) in a broken HD), its whole keyboard, touch-pad and all function keys, all went completely dead broken, with the screen locked at its highest possible brightness, causing lots of eye strain.
