sorry, it works for me, here is the original:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env bash
YELLOW="\033[1;33m"
ENDCOLOR="\033[0m"

icon=cs-desktop

jas=$(xbacklight -get)

yad --mouse \
   --undecorated \
   --title "fenyerö"  \
   --image="$icon" \
   --window-icon="$icon" \
   --text="Valassz!     Aktualis=$jas%" \
   --button="10%":2 \
   --button="40%":3 \
   --button="60%":4 \
   --button="80%":5 \
   --button="100%":6 \
   --button=gtk-cancel:1 \
   --on-top
ret=$?

case $ret in
2) adj=10
   ;;
3) adj=40
   ;;
4) adj=60
   ;;
5) adj=80
   ;;
6) adj=100
   ;;
*) adj=$jas
  ;;
esac

if test $jas != $adj; then
   xbacklight -set $adj 
fi

echo -e $YELLOW"fenyerö bealitva!"$ENDCOLOR
exit 0

I found a better one:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# detect monitor
MON=$(xrandr -q | grep " connected" | cut -f1 -d ' ')
# find current xrandr brightness value
XR=$(xrandr --verbose | grep -i brightness | cut -f2 -d ' ' | head -n1)
BrCur=`awk "BEGIN {print $XR*100}"` # calculate, so e.g. 0.5 gets 50
BrMax="100"
BrMin="10"
yad --undecorated --on-top --geometry=450x70+550+650 --scale --value $BrCur --print-partial --min-value $BrMin --max-value $BrMax --button="Done":1 | while read BrNew; do
# division using awk, so xrandr value gets e.g. 0.5 rather than 50
xrandr --output $MON --brightness $(awk "BEGIN {print $BrNew/100}")
done

not all backlights provide an interface that is operable with xbacklight.

Afaik Xbacklight works (only) with Intel cards and also with Intel driver (not with modesetting). Therefore this may be required (even when the card is already Intel):

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "TearFree"     "true"
#  Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"   # ( If the backlight directory is intel_backlight in /sys/class/backlight )
#  Option      "AccelMethod" "uxa"  #could also use the default "sna"
EndSection

And for non-Intel devices / drivers Acpilight might work (just maybe)

Original script with ddcutil didn't work for me on notebook so i wrote at xbacklight,it would be nice to combine the two.
2.sript,maybe someone is interested in the alarm,works on mx:https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... 2#p1045692
on Antix to be rewritten >kill $! to>pkill -P,at the end of the script> yad --fixed --center --button=gtk-cancel:1
