I have a Dell XPS 13 9360. I had to replace the screen (which means: I had to replace the entire top half of my laptop...) since I cracked that by mistake... Of course, the new screen is original and it's the very same model as the previous one. Still, the maximum brightness is not as bright as the previous one. I didn't change any file for replacing it. I simply open the case and physically replaced the screen. I guess that the new screen has some kind of different ID and that my computer has to understand that he has to loads the very same drivers it used to load for the old screen. I checked the /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/ folder only after the replacement, and I can read that the max_brightness is set to 7500. It looks like there's no direct way to edit that file by using a text editor. My grub hasn't changed from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=/dev/mapper/fedora-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rhgb quiet options i915 enable_fbc=1 enable_guc=3 disable_power_well=0 fastboot=1 options dell-smm-hwmon restricted=0 force=1" Do you have any suggestion on how to fix this? I use Fedora 30.
