Hello list,

Is there any file that I must edit which sets the default screen
brightness to the maximum, so I don't need to change it every time I
restart my computer?

There is no such file structure on my Dell laptop Latitude D810.
Where you have acpi_videos on a dell you have; dell_backlight. None of
the files in that directory do what you are attempting to do.
I have that file, but setting that value to 10 is the same as going to
Screen GUI and scrolling the brightness to the maximum.
Value doesn't get fixed after restart. Maybe GNOME 3.x is overwriting
this setting.

I think that in the past this was the file I was struggling with. :-)

Any other tip?

What program do you refer to as the Screen GUI and where is it found? 


Literally, the "Screen" icon that appears when you press Windows button (or go to Activities) and type "screen".

Can you reach it? I was not able to find a .desktop file that points to that icon, and its binary.

Best regards,
