Thanks!

I enabled I2C_CHARDEV, and installed ddccontrol:

c   ddccontrol                      - program to control monitor

I can read parameters of Dell monitor on VGA:

sudo ddccontrol dev:/dev/i2c-1 -c -d
/usr/share/ddccontrol-db/monitor/DELA013.xml
Control 0x10: +/79/100   [???] -- brightness
Control 0x12: +/63/100   [???] -- contrast

Unfortunately the Fujitsu monitor does not seem to
communicate. Fujitsu is my main monitor :-(.

DDC/CI at dev:/dev/i2c-4 is unusable (-1).
If your graphics card need it, please check all the required kernel
modules are loaded (i2c-dev, and your framebuffer driver).

Any further hints?

Thanks and best regards,
