On 12 August, I said
On the kernel end of things, that seems to work both in stretch and buster. For example, I can change the intensity using the command:# echo 400 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightnesswhich for the CF-19, '400' results in roughly 10% of full brightness. The CF-19's backlight is really powerful, so 400 is about right for indoor use.
However, I am now unsure the kernel is handling things properly. There are two entries under /sys/class/backlight: intel_backlight and panasonic. Their contents look similar, but they don't behave the same.
# echo 40 > /sys/class/backlight/panasonic/brightness does not change the screen brightness. Should it?
