Add the possiblity to set a higher value than 1 for the brightness.

With randr that is possible. It's useful, sometime for dark videos, or to compensate a darker look because of a high red tone in the color temperature.

thanks for the suggestion. I need to have a closer look at the possible values here. What are the Gamma values you see using xrandr --verbose for this display?

        Gamma:      1.0:1.0:1.1

My output is: Gamma: 1.0:1.0:1.0

@mgudemann Hi again. I don't know if you are working on this issue or on your sct fork in general, but I just want to notice you, that in Devuan 12 and Debian 12 there exists now a package called xsct and it can do the things i asked for in this issue.

Here are some links: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/xsct https://github.com/faf0/sct

Best Regards hacksenwerk

@hacksenwerk thanks for the info, I had not seen xsct before. I had quickly tried simply scaling brightness further but got strange colors as result. I will see whether this can be integrated in a similar way to xsct here.

[mgudemann]

@hacksenwerk I checked https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/xsct but this is also using [0.0,1.0] for the possible values of the brightness setting. Maybe I misunderstood you issue, but didn't you want the possibility to set it to something >1.0 ?

@mgudemann Hi. I'm sorry, yes that was my mistake. I was to tired I guess...

[ghost]

I thought I wrote about lower values, that was the mistake. Didn't read my own headline before posting.

[mgudemann]

So the current minimum is 0.1, would simply allowing 0.0 be what you would like to have? That would be very easy to do

:) No I wanted a higher brightness value than 1, because there was some youtuber I watched and he had often videos with very low brightness. But I don't care any more, feel free to close this issue. ;)
