My laptop’s (Lenovo Thinkpad E15) screen backlight brightness adjustment doesn’t work. It’s fixed at 100% all the time. Slider moves but brightness doesn’t change.
I tried a solution of an older thread: adding a pararameter (i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0) to my grub but this didn’t solve my issue. I guess because i915 relates to intel drivers?
This has been going on forever even when I was on older kernel versions.
Also, my CPU fan never spins even when reaching temperatures around 70°C. It does in windows though.
