I'd like the Power Manager Brightness Applet to also be able to adjust desktop monitor brightness.
I add the brightness applet to my panel, but it has a red cross through it.
Presumably it doesn't work because I don't have a backlight class on this desktop machine:
$ ls -l /sys/class/backlight/ total 0
But xrandr works fine:
xrandr
$ xrandr --output DP-1 --brightness 0.6
It'd be nice if the brightness applet could fall back to doing whatever xrand's doing, even if it just means shelling out to xrandr.
Install Brightness applet
1.24.0-2
1.24.1
Ubuntu Focal Fossa
None.
