[Intel-gfx] setting brightness with xrandr seem wrong

[zaverel]

hello,


is it normal that if I rule the brightness with xrandr, only the value 
of gamma change and not the brightness ?

display actually becomes much clearer but this is due to gamma or 
brightness ?
That is the question.

Thanks.
See you.


xrandr  --output HDMI2 --brightness 1.20

xrandr --verbose report:
