[solved] How to set xrandr brightness permanently?

Aloha,

I always set my main monitor brightness with *xrandr --output DP-1 --brightness 0.2* but I would like it to be that on startup but I can't find the config in which to change it. I assumed it would be some X11 config but I don't know which one and where to put it.

If you use startx / xinit then you can just put the xrandr line in ~/.xinitrc before you launch your DE/WM.

You can also use xbacklight.

xbacklight -set 20

I tried this before but I couldn't see any changes. How would the command look like if the monitor I am trying to make less bright is called DP-1? xbacklight -d DP-1 -set 20?
