- Aardwolf 3y agoDoes there exist any hardware knob that you can put between display and displayport cable to adjust brightness? I hate the fiddly menus in monitors and in linux no ddc utils work for me (some "leds" that should include monitor brightness only has keyboard leds)
- wtallis 3y agoIf you can't control the brightness from Linux when using proper software tools, then it's likely your monitor simply doesn't support the brightness control commands and inserting another device between your GPU and monitor won't achieve anything.
- lloeki 3y ago> your monitor simply doesn't support the brightness control commands Or it does but the state of DDC/CI (and HDMI-CEC) is very sad as implementation is inconsistent and subpar to say the least (from order of commands to timing to subtle difference in required payloads that would make the display reject commands). A dedicated device would cut the GPU out of the equation, but most likely patching ddc tools can be equally fruitful.
