XPS 7590 edge brightness gets higher contrast instead of brighter

[zbraniecki]

I noticed that behavior at some point on Arch Linux with XPS 7590 and after switching to your fork still see it.

What happens is that any brightness setting between 0% and something like 80% is correctly darker/brighter, but between 80% and 100% the change is that contrast goes up, and brightness goes a bit down, rather than brightness going up. It feels like a different color profile.

I cleaned my rm -rf ~/.local/share/icc/brightness_* and also with "clean" and "apply" with --target XPS I'm still seeing that behavior.

Any advice?

Hi @zbraniecki! Thanks for you comment and apologies for the late reply (no github notification for some reason 😞 )

I have seen that exact behavior at some point, but it went away before I got a chance to investigate. Perhaps and OS update fixed things.

Are you still experiencing this issue?

No response after 14 days so I'm closing this issue. Please feel free to reopen if the issue persists?

@tartansandal definitely still seeing this (and always have, even on the original fork) on my XPS 7590

Reopening since @charcoal3r is now seeing the behaviour and can help to debug. 😄
