<p>I did not find a way to ensure that a given minimal step would turn on the screen when starting from 0. My guess is that there are some graphical cards out there that will behave weird and turn on the screen at an arbitrary level. Unless testing this first on a LOT of hardware, it seems difficult to find a value suitable for all.</p></div>

<p>Maybe we should look a level deeper and figure out why we're getting nonzero values that still have the backlight off? Could be a kernel bug.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D19678">https://phabricator.kde.org/D19678</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>vishaw, Plasma, ngraham<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>thsurrel, plasma-devel, jraleigh, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
