33 <para><filename>systemd-backlight@.service</filename> is a service
34 that restores the display backlight brightness at early boot and
35 saves it at shutdown. On disk, the backlight brightness is stored
36 in <filename>/var/lib/systemd/backlight/</filename>. During

38 not set to false, the brightness is clamped to a value of at
