another X and monitor question

[imagelab at juno.com]

Neither reset or setterm were effective.  The terminal type is linux. 
The screen is much dimmer than -half-bright on makes it.  It may be a
hardwear issue.  This system has an ET4000 chipset  on the video card and
a KDE 17" monitor.  I have to beboot the system to get the brightness
back.
