Thanks for the quick reply! I'm not technically disinclined to take
these steps to further troubleshoot the issue, but am wary of
undertaking steps this week that may result in being unable to "boot
into the OS". Is this the only way to verify a fix? This is a primary
development machine and a busy week here.

Mark

Title:
  Unable to adjust brightness

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an Intel NUC that's otherwise running Ubuntu 15.10 great! It's
  hooked up to a ViewSonic monitor via mini-DV / DVI.

  The brightness controls are disabled on the monitor.

  xbacklight does nothing. And I don't have the Brightness slider in
  Brightness & Lock.

  I've been poking around, and have seen where to create a file in
  xorg.conf.d. The problem is, I have an empty /sys/class/backlight dir.

  Per the following, I'm submitting a support ticket:

  https://askubuntu.com/questions/577539/dell-chromebook-11-unable-to-
  set-backlight-and-sys-class-backlight-folder-is/578497#578497

  I'd like to be able to increase the brightness on my screen.
