I installed the latest release of GhostBSD. I am using a Thinkpad t480. I noticed the screen isn't very bright. How do I adjust it? I am using the Mate desktop.
Thanks

Does the Brightness key on your laptop works?

If the brightness key is not working I use
Code: Select all
# sudo pkg install intel-backlight
# intel_backlight XY
XY is a value from 1 to 100 percentage of the screen brightness.

Wow. I was having the same issue and did a search and landed in here.. and that code solved the problem. Thank you, Vermilion. I just wish my brightness buttons worked. Anyway to address that? This is an HP "Envy" laptop with traditional (American) English keyboard.
