I run Linux Mint 21, Mate edition. I know this is the Ubuntu forum and I apologize for posting here but I had no luck with Mint's community and I hope you guys can help me . Being based on Ubuntu 22.04, hopefully Mint handles this the same.
I would like to reduce the screen brightness steps when I use Fn + Brightness up/down. The keys work well and brightness is adjusted when I press them but it takes me too many steps from the lowest level to the brightest level (i.e. I need to press the keys around 20 times to reach the maximum brightness). Which command do Fn keys call? xbacklight? How to adjust it?
Hello
Don't know the command which from memory seems to be 5 per step but here on UM22.04.1 on Dell when I press fn key and brightness key and hold it down don't have to keep pressing it. Show in gif below.
Also in Control Center / Hardware / Power Manager is quick and can set a value.
Not answer as I understand that you are looking for but options.
Thanks for your reply!
Yes, it seems to be in steps of 5 each on mine too. I would like to set it to 10 or even 20.
I am aware of the GUI settings but I use the FN keys quite often, it is more convenient.
It would be great to know which command the keys call or where to adjust it.
Thanks!
