Comment 114 for bug 568611

Dear Kamal, thank you for continuous support and help with this issue.

$ cat max_brightness
368475

$ echo 368475 | sudo tee brightness
368475

The above makes the screen totally black.

$ echo 0 | sudo tee brightness
0

Zero sets the screen to maximal brightness.

$ echo 184000 | sudo tee brightness
184000

This yields about half-bright screen.

Other values I've tried (10000, 350000) also support the pattern of "inverted brightness numbers".

lshw gives this in the first "display" entry:
*-display:0

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
