I have 3.8.0 on my Glo. I find running my finger against the left bezel works very well to adjust the light.

but has as improve,
I observed new options to add to file ".kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf"

are these: in the session [Reading]

light control all over the the screen with a single-finger (do not need multitouch kernel)
SwipeSide=false
I'l have to try that. But, I think I like the fact that accidentally swiping elsewhere on the screen won't do anything.
Quote:

traditional light control with two-fingers (multitouch kernel required)
swipeBrightness=true


pinch zoom (multitouch kernel required)
pinchToZoom=true


example, if using 2 options:
Code:
[Reading]
SwipeSide=false
pinchToZoom=true

maybe there better way, I have no experience with "Kobo eReader.conf"
Yes, that is the correct way to do it. Though the "Reading" section will probably already be there and the other two lines should be added in the section after it. And make sure you use a Unix line-end aware editor. DO NOT use Notepad.
