An xbacklight replacement
Lightup is a simple utility to change the backlight brightness. It was developed as xbacklight, a utility developed by intel for changing the brightness no longer works.
- Clone the git repository or download as zip and unzip the contents
- Run ./install.sh as root
- Reboot your machine
- Run lightup -b BRIGHTNESS_VALUE
- To increment brightness, use lightup -i INCREMENT_VALUE
- To decrement brightness, use lightup -d DECREMENT_VALUE
acpilight is a nice alternative to lightup, and has better capabilities at the moment
