So I follow this guide to passthrough my iGPU to a VM in proxmox. It works but as the guide mentioned the console in the host machine (a dell laptop in my case) no longer works.

Before I did the guide, I use this command to turn of the display on the laptop (echo "50" > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness), but now I can't do it. Is there a way to turn off the display?
