Re: Management of backlight

["Kevin B. Hendricks" <kevin.hendricks@sympatico.ca>]

Hi,

I have an 17 inch LCD flatpanel and would very much like to control 
brightness and turning off the backlighting after a time period on my 
desktop machine similar to what pbbuttonsd does for PowerBooks.

I tried pbbuttonssd just to see but I get an error message about having no 
/dev/pmu

Anyone with ideas or a similar solution for desktop machines with FlatPanel 
displays?

Kevin
