How to change brightness in FreeBSD?

1

I installed FreeBSD 10.3 stable on my HP laptop and installed Mate desktop, but I can not change laptop's brightness.

I used xrandr, xbacklight, redshift and they did not work. I loaded acpi_video too, but it has not hw.apic.video.

Is there a way to change brightness?

Also, you might find this one useful: Is there a way to reduce screen brightness or change its colors when using the SCFB driver on FreeBSD?

Also, here are my notes on setting up video drivers (it is for Lenovo Yoga 3 14 but you might find it useful): https://wiki.freebsd.org/MateuszPiotrowski/Yoga314/X

1But if you have to use VESA or SCFB as a driver then you are probably out of luck. – Mateusz Piotrowski – 2017-09-01T01:34:36.600
