Fails to recognize any screens when more than two plugged in about brightness

Will this do? Just need to add Javascript.

Cool!

I was thinking, what is the maximum number of monitors supported by Linux?
Instead of several sliders - and controllers - lets use just one slider per option.

I am going to provide a mockup soon about this.

[LordAmit]

@rcragun - can you please provide output of the command xrandr from terminal?

Here is the mockup I was talking about:

@apandada1 and @zdroid

I should mention that it will support an arbitrary number of devices - which will be determined at runtime.

Although in that case, saving and loading brightness value will be a bit - messy.

[archisman-panigrahi]

Let's use two sliders for easily saving saving values. The other (master control) will not be saved.

Current State

@LordAmit This is still one-way. I can send signal from HTML to Python but not Python to HTML. That is why, I can execute commands from HTML via Python but cannot use Python to execute XRANDR and send the output to HTML.
Maybe, if we can run another Python file inside HTML, it can be done. But I have no idea whether it can be done. But that is another issue.

[LordAmit]

Sigh.
You can't run python inside html. And sending signal from html to python to system to call a system command to execute something will take a lot of time.

Which's why I kept asking for a working prototype. I am almost certain that the html based UI will lag anyway. >.<

[archisman-panigrahi]

Prototype is ready. Check https://github.com/apandada1/Brightness/tree/HTML

The main intention of HTML is to save settings automatically and easy designing, not stop lagging.

I am not sure if you wanted the full output of xrandr:

@rcragun Could you try this. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84627545/brightness-controller_0.1_all.deb

[rcragun]

It is functional. I can control two screens while the third is connected but not receiving output or while all three are receiving output. "Display Number" might be confusing, since it is really the display number of the spsecific type indicated whereas above you have "Display 1" and "Display 2" (following a different numbering pattern).

[archisman-panigrahi]

@rcragun I thought if there are two types of display (one VGA and one HDMI) and the first is VGA1, the second will be HDMI2.

But actually, the second is HDMI1. So I need to rewrite some code.
