I've just installed an Apple Cinema Display (LCD) monitor. This is a 5 year old monitor.
Using KUbuntu 10.4

The apple website indicates this monitor has:
User controls (hardware and software):
Display power, system sleep, system wake, brightness and display tilt

Brightness is what I want to turn down.

Looking in the
KDE System Settings > General > Computer Administration > Display > Size & orientation > DVI-0

there is no adjustment for brightness.

Anyone know how to decrease brightness on this?

Thanks :)






I can't believe Apple monitors are all that much different to
any standard LCD monitors, I've an Acer, an LG and a Sony and in

all of them brightness, contrast, etc. are all adjusted within the

monitor - nothing to do with any OS. Are you sure you can't set the

brightness in the monitor - seems very strange if you can't.

If you can do all that then you have your LCD monitors connected using
an analog cable. Try doing this with a DVI cable and you have no such
controls......

Is there not a brightness control on the side of the monitor? The last time I played with one of these, a couple of years ago, there was just that one control near the power switch I think. Everything else had to be controlled using some proprietary software.
