Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Save Brightness on Macs
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 03:49:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315222020.24341-1-atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com> (raw)
We fix this by writing the brightness value to efivar 'backlight-level'
at shutdown only, when it is changed since the last boot.
Changes in v3:
- Fixed a bug, in which apple_brightness_shutdown is still called on
non-supported devices.
Changes in v2:
- Saved the brightness only when it is different than the previous boot.
