When I switch on my laptop, the screen contrast of Puppy linux, goes to maximum level, for which my eyes feel uncomfortable, due to yellowish screen. I want to reduce the laptop screen contrast. Which packages I have to download?
I use HP 520 model laptop.
Please help..
I use Tahr 6.0.5 , 32 bit puppy.
Frugal install to hard drive.
There are two brightness adjustment buttons on keypad. But these two buttons could not adjust the contrast of screen. Please help...

@ PipzDex:-
Don't take this the wrong way, but why have you gone and turned Fred's 'Redshift-lite' self-extracting script into a .pet package?
I would have said it was easier to simply stick the original into /root/Startup and be done with it....
(Ah, hell. Ne'm mind. What do
I know..?
)

@ Chandan:-
With regard to the brightness keys on the keyboard, their continued functionality is dependent on one thing. Do they communicate with the screen hardware
directly (as in the case of my own nearly 20-yr old Dell laptop).....or do they control a software function? If it's the latter, you
are better off using a third-party utility like PipzDex has provided, above, since trying to get software function control re-established back to those specific keys may
not be that easy....

thats right mike, i packet in that way cause was for me more easy to "enable/disable" and avoid some explanation about the instalation... (lazy, lazy)
and about form the laptop buttons, i have a laptop acer intel i5 64bits and was the same history, until i find this Redshift-lite self-extracting script, and was the solution...
