I think at this version they switched from using a notification area applet for the power manager and eliminated the old display brightness applet from the items available for the panel.I've got xfce4-power-manager 1.4.1-1 in xfce4 on jessie and would like to find a way to dim the LCD backlight. I'm not seeing a brightness panel anywhere like this one: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/brightness nor does the backlight respond to the usual shortcut keys for dimming. What needs to be added or configured to get a brightness slider or other brightness control for the backlight? Regards, /Lars
Try adding xfce4-power-manager-plugins to the panel. You should see a display brightness setting in the menu you get when you left-click on this item in the panel.
There should also be a checkbox on the Xfce Power Manager dialog's Display tab that might re-enable your display brightness buttons.
