-;card = amdgpu_bl0
-;
-; (unreleased)
-; Use the `/sys/class/backlight/actual-brightness` file
-; rather than the regular `brightness` file.
-; Defaults to true unless the specified card is an amdgpu backlight.
-; use-actual-brightness = true
-;
-; Enable changing the backlight with the scroll wheel
-; NOTE: This may require additional configuration on some systems. Polybar will
-; write to `/sys/class/backlight/${self.card}/brightness` which requires polybar
-; to have write access to that file.
-; DO NOT RUN POLYBAR AS ROOT.
-; The recommended way is to add the user to the
-; `video` group and give that group write-privileges for the `brightness` file.
