[Bug 502700] [NEW] Where Are Contrast And Brightness Adjustments?

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

First of all, the only Brightness adjustment I could find was under
Power Management.  That certainly does have a bearing on the amount of
power consumed by the PC, but this is a visual adjustment and I think
more appropriate under the Display settings.

Second, Brightness as a factor in Power Management is probably more an
issue when dealing with laptops and notebooks, not so much with desktop
PCs.  Desktop PCs also have separate monitors with their own settings,
but that is not true of portables.

And Contrast?  Never found it, only found where others could not find it
either.  Many web pages have light colored text rather than black
lettering, and trying to make that out against a light background is
really hard.  If there were an incorporated Contrast setting, I could
deal with that.  And it is certainly needed in portables that do not
provide separate external controls for adjustments.
