Cannot change the brightness on my laptop

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

I have just installed Fedora 21 Spin XFCE on my laptop.

Unfortunately, I cannot adjust the screen brightness in the settings:
I change the brightness in the Settings, but nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

This may well be specific to Xfce, not Fedora.  You might want to check 
at the official Xfce forum, http://forum.xfce.org/index.php and see what 
they have to say.
