------- Comment #44 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-03-19 19:54 ------- 'hald' runs as a system daemon with dropped priviledges, and doesn't have any dependency on X, so it can't run xbacklight directly. It would be possible to have a program running as your user connect to it to control the backlight (or even x connect directly), but AFAIK nothing does that yet. I'm pretty sure HAL uses sysfs to enumerate and control backlights currently. Plus, it is nice to have a way to control the backlight from the command line on a text console without X running. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
