@Thomas_Weissschuh do you have a public git repo somewhere? Scraping the patches offa the email is a little annoying and I don’t feel like setting up mutt just yet 
Nope
Go to [PATCH v6 0/4] drm: Minimum backlight overrides and implementation for amdgpu - Thomas Weißschuh download the mbox.gz, gunzip it and feed the result to git am.

The monitor display brightness in low light conditions is just terrible. 1 star.
The human eye works algorithmically with 20 minutes full adjustment time.
It is an absolute pain to use a framework 16 in low light conditions

Framework team has not yet given any news about this firmware update. In the meantime, under Linux at least, you can compile the patch that allows the screen to be dimmed.
For the Framework 16 that patch will need a new entry in the quirk table.

Unfortunately, the new 3.06 BIOS for AMD Framework doesn’t include a firmware fix for the minimum brightness.
On the other hand, it looks like the Linux patch is scheduled for kernel 6.14, is that correct?
Indeed. Please note that this is only for the 13 inch displays.
For 16 inch somebody would need to test it and send a patch.
Please note that Framework have mentioned that the datasheet of the 16 inch display does not support 0 PWM, so maybe there will be pushback.

I just for the sake of experiment patched the kernel on my FW16 to force the min_input_signal to 0 and indeed my screen now gets noticeably darker. So I would call it a success on that end, the screen seems to take it!
Of course that doesn’t mean anything about if the screen SHOULD be driven at that PWM, but it does work at least!
Once 6.14 fully rolls around, that patch will become way more surgical I suppose, or maybe I’ll submit it upstream even.
Would love to hear what others think as well.
For anyone who wants to try it on Arch, here’s a modified inux-zen package that patches ther kernel automatically: GitHub - Doridian/linux-zen-dori

Compiling this on my AMD 13 2.8k right now.
EDIT: Working very good! That’s so nice to have very low brightness
Uh, huh, so, I didn’t realise this patch was intended for the FW13 and have been running with the patch for over half a year without any real issue.
The biggest “issue” I noticed is that the lowest three backlight levels result in the same actual screen brightness (not sure it’s the same for FW13s?) but that’s not really a big deal.
I’m on a Framework 16 with your earlier-version patch kind of… hand-edited into place until I can learn how to wrangle kernels and patches in Gentoo properly, but… my god. I’ve never been this happy about a monitor with colors this screwed up. My retinas will survive to fight another day. You’ve literally saved me from blindness.
(I can see why it’s out of spec though. It’s like somebody beat the gammas with a wrench until they stopped moving.)
