How exactly would you see this fitting in with the existing stuff - would it be a new device kind?? Any more of an idea you could provide on what you have in mind for this few hundred lines of could would be great and I'll see what I can get together?

Indeed, I was more thinking about the backend first then the front-end would be easy enough - Ideally I'd like to use g-p-m since we can take advantage of the idle time tracking and simply apply the same policy to the keyboard backlight as we do the screen backlight (i.e. dim if idle etc) to make it all nice and integrated and seamless. > > Richard. > Alex _______________________________________________ devkit-devel mailing list devkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/devkit-devel
