"Use the following commands to subscribe to the PPA and install the driver.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sforshee/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apple-gmux-dkms
NOTE: If you previously installed apple-bl-gmux-dkms from this PPA, you be prompted to remove this package when installing apple-gmux-dkms. Please answer yes when prompted, and then reload the apple_bl module by running sudo modprobe -r apple_bl; sudo modprobe apple_bl.
Then to start using the driver you can either reboot, or else use the following commands to reload the driver.
sudo modprobe -r apple_gmux
sudo modprobe apple_gmux"
What should it do:
Suppot the backlight GMUX brightness control for external monitor on apple hardware with Radeon graphics using GMUX.
All other methods of enabling brightness control have failed.
