Screen backlight correction on iMac / Linux
Before, I have changed backlight with:
xrandr --output eDP --brightness 0.8
But after switching to Debian / i3, found that screen brightness correction works not like before - even the picture less bright, it looks like back or foreground LED ones still turned on max.
After some time of researching, found new option for my hardware configuration (it was 255 by default):
echo 50 > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl1/brightness
Now picture looks more contrast and colorful, before apply the recipe above, I had changed acpi_backlight to native in
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_backlight=native"
then
update-grub
