thanks, wsconsctl does work. however it has precisely two values at present
0% and 100%, 100 is full on, 0 is barely useable i find. (this is with the snapshot released yesterday)
is this just me? or does it need work?
the display.brightness attribute on the other hand does appear to work, display.backlight is the aforementioned
i think i'll end up trying a key-binding in X somewhere for one display.brightness+=20% (that's the increment), and one display.brightness-=20%
Thanks barryg, helpful as always.
(if anyone can tell me where in england to get a usb-host cable,then almost all my troubles are over)
