Brightness is killing my eyes!

what comes before

sysrq_always_enabled=1 amdgpu.brightness=0

???

I see a few things in that screenshot :open_mouth:

edits: ok so I tried the different kernal perimeters amdgpu.brightness=0 did not work ): acpi_backlight=native also did not work and the brightnessctl was the earlier one I did with the

brightnessctl set 50%

and that also didn’t work ): I guess I have to stick with discreet for the time being. But one thing I do notice since switching to it is that I can’t seem to control my power profile and then when I switched back to hybrid I couldn’t get it to show up either but hopefully after an update or 2 it might grow back like use of discover did after a few weeks into a fresh install … xD But for real thank you so much for your patience :smiley:

The iGPU (integrated GPU) is part of the CPU and is rather low-performance, but saves energy:

The dGPU (discrete GPU) is powerful, but consumes more energy:

The iGPU is used for simple applications and the dGPU for graphics-intensive applications (e.g. games). This is called hybrid graphics.

Your issue is the following:

As far as I know, this is a bug in the amdgpu driver.

These are my kernel parameters. This is just an example to show you how and where to add a kernel parameter.

Remember that the kernel parameters only apply to the AMD iGPU, this only works if hybrid graphics is enabled in the BIOS.

Please use discover only to search for or update KDE widgets/themes etc. - octopi and pacseek are also suitable for searching. Garuda Linux is archbased, please only use pacman in the terminal to install packages (pacman - ArchWiki).

btw: one issue per topic :wink:

To avoid confusion I will close this one.
