I've got Lucid 5.28 running on an Asus 1015pem netbook frugal install via sdhc card. the hotkeys for adjusting screen brightness work (fn+f5 or f6)-- sort of . . . The maximum brightness under puppy is about 1/2 as bright as under the default installed windows 7. its quite usable, but sometimes my aging eyes want more. Any quick easy fixes? |

Go to menu->setup->xorg video wizard->monitor gamma calibration In each color entry adjust equally Negative number - to lower brightness Positive number - to increase brightness. Apply exit After closing program: Select Yes to save current configuration. _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

thanks for the replies oddly, last night as I was tooling around on the computer, it froze up. I did a hard shutdown with the powerbutton. When I turned it back on, after it did the diskcheck, the screen brightness increased to normal levels! weird weird weird . . . I'll check out the suggestions later, but for now it seems to be working perfectly , so I won't mess with anything. (this was after about a month of suffering through with a dim screen. I think the computer gremlins new I was coming after them . . .) |
