They don't use pommed at all - they use just gnome-power-manager.<br>I'm just saying pommed will change the brightness on Debian, so it is obvious brightness CAN be changed on Debian.<br><br>Regarding the changes, Ubuntu posts its changes to Debian sources at "
<a href="http://patches.ubuntu.com">patches.ubuntu.com</a>". Gnome-power-manager's patchfile is located at:<br><br><a href="http://patches.ubuntu.com/g/gnome-power-manager/">http://patches.ubuntu.com/g/gnome-power-manager/
</a><br><br>Be forewarned that these are patches against the latest development version (2.19.5) as that's what they have in their unstable repositories.<br><br>Is there a filesystem directory where I can find system-specific brightness configurations? I figure Ubuntu includes the patches necessary to adjust MacBook brightness, and Debian does not.
