Patrick needs to run 'lspci|grep vga' to find his chipset and post it to see if others with 'xbacklight' working have same chipset. failing that, joining developers list would get faster reaction than filing a bug report. > If you open a terminal and look in /sys/class/backlight, each directory > there represents a kernel backlight control interface.
