Cannot adjust brightness on Dell XPS 13

Post by jfleck » 2019/02/19 18:05:28

Hello and Thank you for reading this.

I'm running Xfce4 on Centos 7 and the only way I can adjust the brightness is through the Bios setup.

When I click on the Display settings I get "Unable to start the Xfce Display Settings".

I have tried to update the driver and it tells me I'm up to date.
-xbacklight, doesn't do anything
-brightnessctl, doesn't do anything
