Then, we have to add a checkbox in the dialog box for activating this special dim mode, but it is not a problem.

Thanks Carsten, you teach me well last time ;-). I had most of the code ready of backlight but I was lacking the very last bit of code implementing acpi controls and the lack of time did the rest. Anyway, I will have the code ready as soon as possible. best Mathieu > >> 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.
