Display backlight

Talk status

This discussion is still ongoing.

The article says, that it is not possible to change that, if you use the nvidia driver. if you add

FILE /etc/local.d/nvidia.start

setpci -v -H1 -s 00:01.00 BRIDGE_CONTROL=0

(or just execute it in a shell) you can change the backlight within "/sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightness".

There were 2 pages for this same MacBook model. All the content from the other page Apple_Macbook_Pro_Retina_2013 was already included in this page, except for this somewhat older hint about some SATA issues. I'll put it here for reference, not sure if it's still necessary (can't test, have a new MacBook). This was added by User:Lu_zero

The System Rescue CD 4 works fine, pending a caveat due the SSD triggering a strange behaviour with SATA.

Setting the queue_size to 1 workarounds it:
