Version : Antix 17.4
The machine is Dell Inspiron 15 5000 i3 8th generation. I have used the following as suggested –xbacklight -set 50 &
and saved it to the startup in .desktop-session.
Rebooted and the brightness still doesn’t hold up. Apart from that, fantastic job guys. I have used Debian before and antiX is indeed superb till now.
Regards.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problemsrej
Been experimenting with this issue for days with other desktops, kernels, drivers and the antiX19 beta2.
Xfce, LXDE, Mate, and Cinnamon do not hold settings, whether configured through P.M., startup script, xbacklight GUI or installed applet.
KDE installs but is non-functional on all my ThinkPads.
IceWM and Fluxbox – same partition, setting (startup script and xbacklight) returns to 100% on reboot.
Brightness Fn keys do not work at all.
Tried 4.9 kernel and 4.18 – no change.
Base install of antiX17 – no other desktops. Does not hold brightness setting.
Three different laptops, the screen brightness does not hold on reboot.
Installed the Intel proprietary driver (non-free) – now it holds the setting.
The antiX beta2 – Xfce installation with [hopefully] the identical setup and configurations, has the modesetting default driver and saves brightness setting on reboot.
Are there presently any other options for antiX 17 besides proprietary driver? Possibly any tweaks to modesetting driver? Software?
Thank you.

Found a fix among those sites you found that I had not tried.
Actually two.
Again, made the configuration, double checked to make sure, even though the brightness changed to what was written, rebooted and again, the files were overwritten and back to 100% brightness.
The only resolve appears to be the non-free Intel graphics driver.
However. why would the 19 beta2 work perfectly with the default modesetting driver?
I hope that does not change before the final release version (or after). Until then, it will have to be proprietary. Never had to use anything but default drivers on all my old and new devices until now.
Not sure if there is a downside to it or not – so many conflicting opinions.
Thanks for posting the information.
