openSUSE 13.2 and nVidia Drivers / Screen Brightness on laptop


After loading openSUSE 13.2 on my Vaio with integrated nVidia graphics, things were chugging along smoothly...until I tried to adjust the screen brightness.

The OSD came up, and *SAID* it was going down/up with the FN key presses, but nothing would actually happen. I installed the nVidia drivers from the openSUSE repositories.

Adding this:
Code:
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Default Device"
  Driver "nvidia"
  VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
  Option  "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
EndSection
...to the bottom of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf file did the trick.
