Okay. I've been able to set my laptop's screen brighter by working with
the program spicctrl and the sonypi device.
But everytime I boot, I login under my username then have to do the
following every time...
First I go into the bash terminal, then su because I can't do this under
my login name
mknod /dev/sonypi c 10 250 #because sonypi is not listed in /dev - it
disappears everytime I shut down
then I type
chmod o+w sonypi #because I want to be able under my login name, not
root, to set the brightness
then i exit su
and type spicctrl --setbrightness=150
and it works...
My questions are:
Why do I have to recreate the device every time? Shouldn't it be there
every time?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
