Screen brightness

The brightness of the lcd of my Thinkpad R60 was an issue for me because I could only decrease the brightness using Fn+End; but could not increase it using Fn+Home as the Home key was defunct.

I figured may be changing some ".conf" can help me out. I checked out with people at #gentoo. Just as I expected, I just had to write appropriate integer values to

/sys/class/backlight

From the maxbrightness file I found the max value for my system was 7. Checking the brightness file, I found the current screen brightness to be at 0. Setting it to 4 was fine with me.
