correct. just manual controls. there is a special dim mode specifically for this (so you go into dim mode then back out to your previous brightness level, while in dim mode changin level doesnt change it (just the desired level for normal mode) until u go back to normal mode. but yes - no api to do this. to do an idle dimming you'll need to use the screensaver extension and detect idle time via that api in ecore_x (and i need to check - you may need to extend the api). > Hei Carsten, > > I was unable to find anything in the code for changing the backlight > automatically after some inactivity (Normal -> idle (free to set it in > the dialog box) -> sleep (after 3 min)). > > I am already preparing a patch for it which is using your interface (I > already wrote it actually but it needs more testing) > > Mathieu > > On Wed, 15 Jun 2011 23:00:43 -0300 Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > > <barbi...@profusion.mobi> said: > > > >> On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 9:34 PM, Carsten Haitzler<ras...@rasterman.com> > >> wrote: > >>> i added backlight control support in e17 now. load the backlight module > >>> and add the backlight control gadget, bind some keys to changing > >>> backlight etc. as you see fit. the actual backlight control and config is > >>> in e17 proper, with module just offering the popup slider gadget > >> > >> Great, but problems and questions: > >> > >> - Problems: > >> - Shelf gadget -> right click -> Remove -> Crash.
