Brightniss

The last brightness controller you'll ever need.

Brightniss provides stable brightness control for monitors that lack/have broken brightness controls. It also solves the problem of annoying screen flickering in later versions of Gnome and other desktop environments while running traditional tools like Brightness Controller.
