Hello,  
I wanted to control screen brightness with keyboard, but no shortcut key (by default) and xbacklight does not work on my DevTerm-A06.  
So I found another project that works; light([https://github.com/haikarainen/light](https://github.com/haikarainen/light)).

‘light -A %n’ to increase screen brightness, and ‘light -U %n’ to decrease  
(%n needs to be more than equal 12 on DT-A06)

I set xfce4 keyboard shortcut,  
Shift + Vol\_Up(Fn+Vol) to more brighter,  
Shift + Vol\_Down(Vol) to less brighter.

That works perfect for me 🙂  
If There are another solution, please let me know.
