Hi Steffen,

>>>> and take a look if /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/ is present:
> On an IBM T61 i have acpi_video1 too. Video0 represents the vga/dvi output where video1 represents the LCD.
> Also have a look on max_brightness on this dirs for the maximum value.
No, I only have video0.

> As workarround you could switch to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and try to dim with your fn+ keys.
Yes, that's is what I'm currently doing.

> Be careful to touch the right (video-)output. In /proc/acpi/video i have two devices: VID and VID1. VID1 references to my LCD.
Yes, I looked into that folder, but I had no results so far :(

I'm still trying ...

Thanks for your mail.

Best regards,
Damian.
