So I used to be able to access the video card settings on XP after I installed the drivers and then i just right clicked on the desktop and clicked on the video card settings and I could make everything brighter on the screen.
I have an old school view sonic monitor and it's very dark. The only way I can change brightness is through the video card.

So I was wondering how I could access the video card settings for brightness on Linux? I am new to the system I'm using Ubuntu. Loving it so far, But it would be great if I could get the brightness up.. since I plan to work on some graphic and video projects soon.

Any help would be great ! thank you...
