Hi all. I have a Dell Optiplex 7780 (an AIO computer) with integrated Intel graphics card. So far, I am unable to change its brightness, it is always stuck at 100%.
I tried the solution here as well as the ddcci and i2c-dev kernel modules (+ several utilities to interact with them: ddcutil, backlit_control, brightnessctl, light) as partially explained in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/backlight#External_monitors.
I am using Manjaro GNOME with Wayland and Kernel 5.4. I have tried with X11 and with Kernels 5.8, 5.9 and 5.10 and still the same issue.
Do you have any idea? I know that similar AIO computers need some sort of OSD (On-Screen Display) software, but I tried to find something for my particular one, and found nothing.
This is my output for the relevant info (in my opinion) of the inxi -Faz command:

Of course I will provide the output of any command at your request. Thanks a lot. Appreciated,
