There is a portable or setup installer version. Most of these options require ClickMonitorDDC’s command line arguments to function so you will need to have a good read of the help guide. These include tray icons and colors, mouse wheel commands, hotkeys, add commands to the tray icon context menu, timers and limits, and autorun commands when a specific program is run. There are also buttons to turn off all monitors, the current monitor, rotate the display, and reset the monitor’s settings back to factory default.ĬlickMonitorDDC has a vast array of settings (tiny top-left button) to control a number of options. Hovering over any of the tray icons and scrolling will alter that specific value on the fly. If available, the User profile can be selected from the top drop down in the lower left corner.īesides using the sliders, numbers or the mouse wheel in the user interface to adjust the settings, there are also icons in the system tray showing the current values. This can be expanded to include red, green and blue sliders if your monitor has a User profile. By default, it shows sliders for brightness, contrast, saturation/vibrance, monitor audio volume, and device audio volume.
Here’s a selection of 10 free programs to adjust the brightness, contrast, gamma or color temperature settings of your computer screen.ĬlickMonitorDDC is probably the most powerful utility of its type and it adjusts the real settings of your monitor. If you don’t have or cannot find brightness and contrast controls to adjust the display to your liking, an option is using a third party tool.
Windows sometimes has a brightness slider in the notification area or the system power plan.
Laptops and netbooks should have a dedicated Fn key combination or utility from the manufacturer for brightness. An old Dell Studio One 1909 desktop we have here, is one such system without external controls for brightness and contrast. Most monitors should have controls to adjust these types of settings but that isn’t always the case. Proper configuration can make viewing more comfortable, especially you are at your computer for prolonged periods of time. It doesn’t take a lot for a badly configured monitor or laptop screen to cause problems and put extra strain on your eyes because brightness or contrast settings are set too high. I don't know where the actual i915 source is, but I'm guessing it's this? edid_quirk_list doesn't seem to mention Legion.Īlso, what's the difference between i915 issues on and of the most obvious things that can show the strain of being at your computer for a period of time is your eyes. The gitlab link mentions the edid_quirk_list.
Pretty sure I need to somehow patch the i915 driver. I have also tried those parameters before and they did nothing. My kernel parameters did not contain either 'acpi_osi=linux, acpi_backlight=vendor' when I added 'i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=1'. Removing the lines and doing a cold reboot restored backlight function. Maybe doesn't apply to your Legion unit, but have you tried removing these kernel parameters 'acpi_osi=linux, acpi_backlight=vendor' ? I added these on a test Thinkpad T14s (AMD) uni and the backlight stayed constant and couldn't be changed by the buttons FN+F5/F6. I have seen the bug report regarding the sound before. I probably have to patch the kernel, but I'm not too familiar with doing that. Just adding the kernel parameter didn't work. Like you mentioned Legion 5Pi is a different device and the brightness issue is still present:
After some time you will also get updated drivers from upstream and then you will also not be required to add this kernel parameter.
You only need to add `i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=1` as kernel parameter and your backlight issue will be resolved. Legion 7i backlight issue is already resolved: Ī friend of mine has this laptop so I have already confirmed this with him and it is working. I only get sound with external speakers or bluetooth. Off topic, but do you guys have working internal speakers? Mine doesn't work. Just adding that I have a different laptop with similar specs. I subscribed hoping you guys could find a solution to the backlight issue.
