Not sure about that either. But recently i updated the Xorg intel .
Would this have messed up the Xorg conf.

I was doing some experiments using export DISPLAY for the problem.
That y the DISPLAY was showing "debian:0.0.
I have rebooted and below is the DISPLAY varibales:
---------
debian:~# echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
debian:~# xbacklight -get
No protocol specified
Cannot open display ":0.0"
debian:~#
---------
