Description : Graphical tool to set the screen brightness on Xorg
A little window with a slider for each screen which can be used to
adjust the brightness of the screens.
.
This is useful on desktop machines that do not have adjustable backlight.
I use it on desktop machines, so I prefer if it's included in debian rather
than having to compile it when I am using a different system.
It is similar to https://github.com/lordamit/brightness for which there is an
ITP since 2019 but was never actually packaged.
I think it is easier to use since it just offers 1 slider per screen and that's it
rather than a number of options. So in case that one also ends up being packaged,
I'd personally prefer to keep using this one.
Unfortunately it is Xorg specific. For now I don't use wayland because of a number
of other things that do not work there. I guess there is some poorly documented
dbus call that it is possible to make in wayland to achieve the same goal.
