increase brighness of laptop after F13 install

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I installed F13 on Thinkpad T61 laptop yesterday. But everything is
very dim and gloomy. How do I increase the brightness? The Fn +
brightness blue buttons are doing nothing: this used to work on F12.

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Have you tried Power Management option ?

System -> Preferences -> Power Management

The help here refers to a .xkeybindsrc: I have no such file anywhere.
Any other suggestions?

Are you using NVIDIA driver? If so, try this:

-c

Sorry, it is a Thinkpad T61 with an Intel graphics card.

Funny, but I do not have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. All I have
in /etc/X11 is xorg.conf.d/ which leads to the
file: 00-system-setup-keyboard.conf

Fedora 12 was fine: I just tried to upgrade two days ago.

I haven't reported it as a bug yet but since an update some time ago
on my F13 laptop, the brightness will not stay all the way up
regardless of my power management settings. I even went so far as to
disable the ambient light sensor in the BIOS. I guess I'm lucky in
that by Fn keys work, but only temporarily. After a few moments of
inactivity it gets quite dark and touchpad or keyboard activity only
increases it somewhat, but it never goes back to full brightness
unless I use the Fn keys again.
