I'm just here (on my laptop with speakers that have mysteriously stopped working) to second any comments relating to the sorry state of Linux audio.

It's a good thing my brightness settings are stuck at 100% or I wouldn't be able to upvote this comment.

Does xbacklight work?

aeroevan11y ago

My macbook pro (running linux) has a strange issue where I have to run setpci -v -H1 -s 00:01.00 BRIDGE_CONTROL=0 before the backlight works (when using official NVIDIA drivers, nouveau works fine).

My T410 thinkpad required some XOrg.conf setting get the backlight working. It really is strange how bad the NVIDIA drivers are with this backlight stuff.
