Details Count. If this LCD is attached to a desktop machine via VGA or
DVI cables, the LCD's brightness is controlled by switches and a menu on
the LCD itself. X doesn't enter into it. If this LCD is connected to a
laptop via laptop-specific connectors, there are usually more options.
Some laptops, like many Thinkpads, have special key combinations for
adjusting LCD brightness (Fn-PgUp and Fn-PgDn). These key combinations
are actually independent of X. If you're using a laptop, you need to
provide the make and model# of the laptop, or no one will be able to
give you accurate information.
