Details

Since version 0.5.x brightnessctl doesn't need udev rules, or special privileges. It can use a systemd-logind over dbus to change the brightness.
It just needs to be compiled (and installed) with the ENABLE_SYSTEMD=1 flag.

for reference check these commits among others:
https://github.com/Hummer12007/brightnessctl/commit/99c21787cbbbde7ca1eb57abc8e7e3b3101eeb6d
https://github.com/Hummer12007/brightnessctl/commit/2fe7b1f99abedcc866989208ff95cf73314e321a

attached is a patch

ps. brightnessctl.install is no longer needed, since no udev rules are installed
   systemd.patch (0.9 KiB)
