Bug#833508: xbacklight reports "No outputs have backlight property"
Package: xbacklight
Version: 1.2.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #833508
Dear Reporter,
I can confirm that xbacklight gives "No outputs have backlight property" when I changed from xserver-xorg-video-intel to the new xserver-xorg-core in Debian Sid. Your work-arounds in your opening work for me too, thanks.
When I roll-back to xserver-xorg-video-intel by using the following xorg.conf ...
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel"
Driver "intel"
# Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
... than xbacklight works again.
I have the xbacklight problem with ...
