Hi guys,
I have a samsung R510 laptop running Arch and I can't set display brightness with xbacklight. However, the command
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=XX
(where XX is a hexadecimal number from 00 to FF) does work. It needs root privileges, through. I'd like to be able to set the brightness without resorting to "low-level" commands like setpci.
Any ideas how I could make xbacklight work?
Thanks
:x

I know of no way to get xbacklight to work if your hardware does not like it. It would be easy enough to use "visudo" to add something like this:
(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/setpci
to your sudoers file and then to bind that command of yours to a keystroke.
