Brightness not working Ubuntu 20.04 Lenovo Legion 5 (15IMH05)

nvidia.NVreg_RegistryDwords=EnableBrightnessControl=1 works for me!

The /etc/default/grub file.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia.NVreg_RegistryDwords=EnableBrightnessControl=1"
sudo update-grub

But I have set ‘Discrete graphic’ in BIOS Settings. I haven’t other changes of a clear system, only grub and BIOS.

Without this configuration it didn’t work for me. Also I had limited settings for NVIDIA settings when I had Security Boot Enable. When I had Security Boot - Disabled I had more settings, but I hadn’t display configuration.

When I have updated BIOS settings and Grub I have got worked brightness.

My laptop is Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 (NVIDIA + Intel graphics):

  • NVIDIA Corporation GA107BM [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile]
  • 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11800H
    NVIDIA driver 470.82.00 from Ubuntu Additional drivers.
