[Bug 573984] Re: Screen brightness can not be adjusted in Lucid with Intel Arrandale graphics

[sas]

I have the same issue, and I've noticed that I lacked the "Display
Controller" (is this why I can't change the brightness?) that David
Boersma has in his lspci, mine reads:

sas at sas-laptop:~$ lspci

Also, my brightness file is located in a different directory called
GFX0. I tried changing this file, but the display brightness isn't
changed.

root at sas-laptop:~# echo 50 >/proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD02/brightness
root at sas-laptop:~# cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD02/brightness
levels:  10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
current: 50
root at sas-laptop:~# echo 100 >/proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD02/brightness
root at sas-laptop:~# cat /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD02/brightness
