Dear Sirs!
I am completely newbie in Linux and in Linux Mint in particular. In my
case adding Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" clause
in xorg.conf did not change anything in brightness.

Please, be so kind, help me in solving that issue. I could not imagine before
that impossibility to change display brightness may drive someone crazy.
By the way, I performed all steps concerned brightness described at the
following topic. To my regret I got no results.
