# oled-backlight

Linux OLED backlight management for Linux intel cards

I've a Lenovo X1 Carbon Extreme Gen2 and recently the OLED support has been fixed (thanks to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/issues/510)

Tested on Arch linux (Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630):

* kernel 5.6.6-arch1-1

* xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+906+g846b53da-1

However common softs like xbacklight doesn't recognize the screen. So I've made this quick program in order to control backlight through the command line. See usage:

```

# print help

$ ./oled-backlight

Please add one of those argument: current|+|-|XY%

# return current percentage

$ ./oled-backlight current

50

# lighter +5%

$ sudo ./oled-backlight +

55

# darker -5%

$ sudo ./oled-backlight -

50

# set light percentage

$ sudo ./oled-backlight 60%

60

```

Note: it needs sudo permissions in order to modify the brightness
