Backlight control problem

toru · 2020-06-12 19:23:56

I've been looking into how to fix this problem of being unable to set the monitor backlight brightness on this Acer Aspire 3 (A315-21-95KF) laptop (Devuan Beowulf - first RC). I tried quite a bit more to fix this on my own out of respect for your time, but so far it has persisted. This is about the internal monitor. If I'm not mistaken, the computer just boots with full brightness and stays that way, and I want to be able to change it, and to do that without rebooting. Command line solutions are fine for me. I think this issue might be because of the switch to Wayland, but I'm not sure. (EDIT: Come to think of it, I think I had the same problem on this laptop with Ascii) The reason I need to fix this is because in my situation I need to conserve power when I can.

$ lspci
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Stoney [Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5 Graphics] (rev da)

I quickly found or heard things suggesting me to set things like this in /etc/default/grub under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
acpi_osi=Linux
acpi_osi=!Windows_2012
acpi_osi=!Windows2012
acpi_backlight=vendor
pci=noacpi

But none of those worked. acpi_osi=Linux and acpi_osi=!Windows_2012 create a backlight slider in the MATE power settings, but when I slide it, it doesn't change anything. Using acpi_backlight=vendor at the same time makes the slider disappear. The last one actually makes the computer end up in a very limited busybox shell upon booting, with the internal keyboard not working, but for some reason lets me use a USB keyboard still, and booting in recovery mode seems to still work fine. (So I've edited pci=noacpi out now and we're good except that the original backlight problem still remains)

Also there is this:

$ ls -a /sys/class/backlight/
.  ..

And with acpi_osi=Linux:

$ ls -a /sys/class/backlight/
.  ..  acpi_video0

For some reason root can't write to any of these files:
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness

Then I read about /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I don't have one. I tried installing libacpi0 but it didn't fix it. I tried xbacklight but it said "No outputs have backlight property" even if I'm using acpi_osi=Linux.

Then I tried radeontool. But it doesn't seem very useful to me with my limited understanding of it.

I tried making a /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-backlight.conf with this:

Section "Device"
       Identifier "Radeon"
       Driver "radeon"
#       Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

But then when I rebooted, it never went to lightdm.

dmesg gave me this:

I just recently had this same struggle on a couple of older laptops. They use the Intel CPU video driver, not a third-party GPU, so this may not apply to your system. But here's the thread that I started:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3480

For some reason root can't write to any of these files:

/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness

You should show us the exact command(s) that you used to try to write to the file.

I'm guessing that you tried something like

sudo echo $value > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

^ That won't work because the elevated privileges conferred by the sudo command are lost in the redirection operation (>).

Use this instead:

sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness <<<'$value'

Or

sudo sh -c 'echo $value > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness'

In both cases replace $value with the actual numerical value (with the maximum determined by the content of /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness).

But then when I rebooted, it never went to lightdm.

Perhaps your card needs the amdgpu driver, check the LightDM & X.Org logs and also the output of

lspci -k | grep -A3 VGA

@Micronaut: If you look in my above post (topic starter post), I tried making a file like that (10-backlight.conf), and then lightdm wouldn't start for some reason when I rebooted. I believe I had already seen your thread and tried to make use of the 10-backlight.conf thing. Not to say that there isn't any useful information in the thread otherwise. Thank you for helping!

You should show us the exact command(s) that you used to try to write to the file.

sudo nano /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness 
sudo nano /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness 
sudo nano /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness

Is there a reason for why the commands you gave are more likely to receive permissions than this? I have used sudo nano before on root-owned files without problems. For example, I have used "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" lately.

Let's see, I found the xorg log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
And the lightdm log I found in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

Alright I'm gonna retry that 10-backlight.conf thing again and look at those logs then, and... Here's the output of that other command:

$ lspci -k | grep -A3 VGA
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Stoney [Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5 Graphics] (rev da)
	Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Stoney [Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5 Graphics]
	Kernel modules: amdgpu
00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 15b3

Thanks for helping by the way! I appreciate it.

That's an unusual way to modify the file but it should work (it did when I tried it in my Alpine Linux box). What actually happened when you tried? Did you see any error messages?

Do my suggested echo commands work?

Looks like the amdgpu module is available but not loaded. Without a loaded kernel module your system will fall back to the VESA driver, which will offer poor performance and may be the reason why you're having trouble with the backlight.

Try adding radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 as a kernel command line parameter to force the amdgpu module for your card.

Also check that you have installed the firmware-amd-graphics package, that will be needed for full performance.

Your configuration file is forcing the wrong driver for your card, it needs amdgpu(4) rather than radeon(4).

First, thank you for sticking with me!

No, using your commands doesn't work either. I didn't try them until now, though.

What happened with nano:
brightness: [ Error writing lock file /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/.brightness.swp: Permission denied ]
max_brightness: [ File '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness' is unwritable ]
actual_brightness: [ File '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness' is unwritable ]

What happened with your commands:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness'
sh: 1: echo: echo: I/O error
$ sudo sh -c 'echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness'

Alright, going to try those kernel command line parameters. And if I must, I will try firmware-amd-graphics. I wish to avoid proprietary software if possible, but if there's no other way.

Also, I found this. Do you think this could solve my problem? https://cannibalcandy.wordpress.com/201 … acpi-woes/

Oh, also it looks like the same thing happened again with the amdgpu modification to 10-backlight.conf:

What happened with nano:
brightness: [ Error writing lock file /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/.brightness.swp: Permission denied ]
max_brightness: [ File '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness' is unwritable ]
actual_brightness: [ File '/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness' is unwritable ]

Looks like nano was trying to write to a backup for the brightness file, not sure why. It works on my system if I ensure that it's saving to the actual backlight file.

Note that the max_brightness and actual_brightness files can't be changed so that result is expected (sysfs doesn't work like normal filesystems, it is virtual in nature and just exposes kernel values to user space).

No idea why my tee & echo suggestions didn't work though. At a guess it's because you don't have a kernel module loaded for your video card.

You're already loading non-free firmware from Devuan for your Intel wireless card. Your UEFI firmware, CPU management engine and hard drive controller are all running blobs anyway. There is no escape...

Also, I found this. Do you think this could solve my problem? https://cannibalcandy.wordpress.com/201 … acpi-woes/

That's an interesting find but I'm pretty sure that the backlight will be controllable once you have a video driver loaded.

Oh, also it looks like the same thing happened again with the amdgpu modification to 10-backlight.conf:
[    15.550] (II) AMDGPU(0): [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.

AMD cards require KMS and that needs a kernel driver.

@toru, what does cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness say?

Presumably something less than 100, as according to your post #7, the complaint was about the value, not the writing.

If that's the case, you should try again with @Head_on_a_Stick's tee method and a number between 0 and that maximal number. Ideally half of max should result in 50% brightness.

radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1

The computer booted and went to the login manager and let me login and such. But the backlight slider still doesn't let me change the backlight brightness. Maybe, nothing that I noticed changed.
I say maybe because I became able to use the backlight function keys at some point, but it doesn't actually change the backlight. Could be that those kernel command line parameters changed this, but I would have to test that.

what does cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness say?

$ sudo cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness
10

$ sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness <<<'5'
5
$ sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness <<<'0'
0
$ sudo cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
0

Modifying the file in this way works but it doesn't change the brightness of the screen. Oh, and thank you for the help!

Note that the max_brightness and actual_brightness files can't be changed so that result is expected (sysfs doesn't work like normal filesystems, it is virtual in nature and just exposes kernel values to user space).

Ohhhh! Thanks for letting me know, this makes sense now.

No idea why my tee & echo suggestions didn't work though. At a guess it's because you don't have a kernel module loaded for your video card.

Hmmmm so it is sounding like I MIGHT not be able to escape installing that proprietary driver. But I'm still going to look into other options for the backlight. Also, thank you again for the help.

You're already loading non-free firmware from Devuan for your Intel wireless card. Your UEFI firmware, CPU management engine and hard drive controller are all running blobs anyway. There is no escape...

This exists: https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner
Also I am currently not using my wireless card, I just have the package around in case I need to use the card. LAN often suits my purposes.
For BIOS and UEFI firmware - fair enough. However, though I don't have it on this computer, https://libreboot.org/ exists.
Hard drive controller? That seems to be one I didn't know about. I would be quite interested to hear more about that.

Anyway, it is still a virtue to take steps to get rid of, if not the entire problem, then parts of the problem. And who knows, maybe you can even get rid of the entire problem...

And now I guess I'll try firmware-amd-graphics.
...Both the non-backports version (20190114-2) and the beowulf-backports version (20190717-2~bpo10+1) fixed the backlight problem but then introduced another problem. I tried to load Caja and the display glitched hard, distorting the windows to the point of the system being unusable. tty1 worked fine still. I tried to screenshot the problem but in the screenshots the problem isn't there. I was able to take screenshots by just pressing prtsc and hitting enter.

To me, this doesn't seem very helpful: (Xorg.0.log)

Firmware is not the same as driver. Your AMD card will perform very poorly without the firmware.

Hard drive controller? That seems to be one I didn't know about. I would be quite interested to hear more about that.

The risk level is very low for that sort of exploit, especially compared to something like Firefox or Chrom{e,ium}, but the motherboard hardware controllers contain blobs and some of them can be rather complex.

...Both the non-backports version (20190114-2) and the beowulf-backports version (20190717-2~bpo10+1) fixed the backlight problem but then introduced another problem. I tried to load Caja and the display glitched hard, distorting the windows to the point of the system being unusable. tty1 worked fine still. I tried to screenshot the problem but in the screenshots the problem isn't there. I was able to take screenshots by just pressing prtsc and hitting enter.

Sounds like a compositor issue, check ~/.xsession-errors for clues.

If the backlight problem is now fixed then please mark the thread [SOLVED]. If you want to continue with the screen corruption issue then open a new thread, thanks.

So, if possible I would still like to attempt to solve this issue without the proprietary firmware. Specifically I'm only talking about getting the backlight control working in some sense. Even if it is just something I can only set when rebooting the computer. That would still at least help.

But if you guys are not willing to handle assisting in that, I will mark the thread closed.

I will try to handle the firmware issue on my own. If I fail enough, I may make a thread on it.

Thanks for your help all the way either way, even if this may look like an obvious solution that wasn't tried. To me it isn't exactly a solution, but it can help and it is nice to know and I may use it. I did not actually know that this package existed.
