Thanks, Daniel. I'm not skilled enough to develop the script. And I don't mind having a lag between the action and the effect while it works at all. Anything else I need to do after creating the script? Make it executable? -- Screen brightness not controllable on Lenovo Ideapad S10-3 and U350

@splashis: You can still improve the script. I also did some fine tuning on step size after I posted the script here. A perfect solution for step size would be a logarithmic approach, but it will still not satisfy in sense of response speed. -- Screen brightness not controllable on Lenovo Ideap

Included is a very dirty solution that really has poor performance (1-2 sec for action to take place), but in my opinion it is much better that typing commands on the shell to adjust brightness. Attached is a bash script to handle the event generated by the /etc/acpi/events/ideapad-video that must
