i can’t seem to find anything related to enabling/disabling automatic brightness, i don’t even think it’s enabled as i have it set to lower the brightness when inactive but if i change light levels (ie: move to a darker room to a lighter room) it doesn’t seem to do anything. I’m running 18.04 LTS on a early 2011 MacBook Pro (8,1). All i want to know is, if there is some hidden setting or maybe a command line command i need to run to enable it, as i don’t think it’s enabled at all, the only thing i can get it to do is dim when inactive.
I don’t think MATE supports auto-brightness (besides the dimming you mentioned). Love to be shown wrong, however!
that’s what i was thinking after not seeing an option, but who knows, it’s not a deal breaker or anything, it’s just a handy feature to have that’s all, if it can be done, i’m eagerly waiting for how to do it, if not, then this can be be marked solved and closed accordingly!
