Thanks for posting these, especially the second for brightness. I am curious about the reason you load i915kms before starting X, though. I have not had to do this for some time. All of the code has been added to load this module on Xorg start-up and it has always worked for me. Admittedly, I am on a T520, not an X220, but everything else that has been suggested for the X220 has worked fine on the T520. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
