[SOLVED] Setting KDM's brightness level after its startup
Ok, so I googled, binged etc. but was unable to came up with anything reasonable, so I ended up here - yet again:-)
Is there any way to control KDM's brightness level?
I am experiencing a common problem, where Intel-GPU based laptop gets black after init when booting up and I am still looking into this thing, so in the meantime I want to be able to set KDM's brightness to 80% after it starts up.
When using GDM, I was able to use xbacklight to solve this, by adding, e.g.:
xbacklight -set 80to /etc/gdm/Init/Default ...
I know that KDM's main config is /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ,but this does not seem to work there.
Any suggestions?

Re: [SOLVED] Setting KDM's brightness level after its startup
kdm uses:
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
which is 'A program to run before the greeter is shown...'
according to comments in kdmrc.
You may try to write your xbacklight command in it.
