Ubuntu 无法调节并保存屏幕亮度解决办法

测试环境：

Acer Aspire 5750G
NVIDIA GeForce GT630M
Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64

其他情况解决方法类似。

调节屏幕亮度
Fn不能调节屏幕的亮度。因为fn调节的是/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness文件，而I卡的文件是/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness。

一、测试代码

启动系统，出现grub菜单时，按“e”编辑，在有linux内核路径那一行，添加“acpi_backlight=vendor”，如：

linux    /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-30-generic root=UUID=75c414be-2e17-407a-b699-94f6a398dff7 ro acpi_backlight=vendor  quiet splash
如果能正常启动，且用fn能调节屏幕亮度，说明成功，接着下一步。

二、修改grub

sudo vi /etc/default/grub
找到：

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=””
改为：

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”acpi_backlight=vendor“

我的grub文件如下：

# If you change this file, run ‘update-grub‘ afterwards to update

# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:

#   info -f grub -n ‘Simple configuration‘

GRUB_DEFAULT=0

#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

GRUB_TIMEOUT=3

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash“

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“acpi_backlight=vendor“
# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs

# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains

# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD …)

#GRUB_BADRAM=“0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef“
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub–pc only)

#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal

# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE

# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo‘

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
# Uncomment if you don‘t want GRUB to pass “root=UUID=xxx” parameter to Linux

#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries

#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=“true“
# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start

#GRUB_INIT_TUNE=“480 440 1“

更新grub.cfg
➜  ~  sudo update-grub
 

查看grub.cfg 发现其中每个启动项都加入了“acpi_backlight=vendor”

➜  ~  vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg

设定屏幕初始亮度
重启后发现，屏幕亮度又恢复为最大亮度。

查看影响屏幕亮度的文件

➜  ~  vi /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
调节几次屏幕亮度发现其中数值会改变，我的笔记本数值范围为0～976。

手动修改该数值，会发现屏幕亮度随之改变（需要root用户执行）：

➜  ~  su 
Password:
root@ www.linuxidc.com :/home/congbo# echo 500 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
因此，将该语句添加到 /etc/rc.local 就能开机自动设定屏幕初始亮度了。

修改/etc/rc.local如下（需要root用户执行）：

#!/bin/sh –e

#

# rc.local

#

# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.

# Make sure that the script will “exit 0″ on success or any other

# value on error.

#

# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution

# bits.

#

# By default this script does nothing.

echo 500 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

exit 0

调节gamma值
➜  ~  xgamma -gamma .7
-> Red  1.000, Green  1.000, Blue  1.000
<- Red  0.700, Green  0.700, Blue  0.700
