unable to adjust brightness of screen in manjaro
Hello,
Had the same problem. Checked forums and found this solution. 
On the cmd line 
type  cd /etc/default/grub and add this line in the grub file:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0" 
And afer that run:
sudo update-grub
This solution works for the 5.9.10-1 kernel.
