Well, as this sleeping community did not see fit to respond, I looked for some courage and found it, somewhere … so I disabled the graphics driver and, look and behold, no black screen or fuzzy letters. No, nothing of the kind. So why is it there? Surely not for control of brightness only? But I saw with my own eyes how power consumption dropped considerably, also mentioned by others. So, you all were very right, so why not caste that rascal of an Intel driver overboard? Into the black sea with you, disturber of my peace! I suppose there must be some way, somewhere, to change brightness of the screen without Intel, but where? Tell me there is an option somewhere … otherwise … it looks like I am married to Intel in which case I long for a quick divorce, rapido … How can we set brightness when not at Power settings? Anyone?
