As it says in the title, I am trying to get screen brightness controls working (ideally via the built in keyboard buttons on the laptop). Thanks in advance for any help.
I am running Tumbleweed (updated today) on a new Thinkpad X1 Extreme (4K). I have turned on discrete graphics in bios (rather than “hybrid” graphics) so I should be using only the Intel graphics and not the NVIDIA card, although that is all that I see in lspci:
# lspci | grep -i vga

I don’t have anything in “/sys/class/backlight” nor do I have any plausible “backlight” or “brightness” files/directories in “/sys/”
“xbacklight -g” reports “No outputs have backlight property”
I have tried updating grub with ether
“acpi_backlight=video”
“acpi_backlight=vendor”
