53173. you WILL need to restart e for it to work though - remember.

that's why e doesnt do it yet - it's a chunk of work. you have to see if you
can use xrandr first to do it the nice way - then if that doesnt work go behind
the scenes and via suid root utils hunt some /proc or /sys file to play with -
and there could be many files you'd need to fiddle and choosing the right one
requires code. right now e's code for dim/undim is:

ACT_FN_GO_ACPI(dim_screen, __UNUSED__)
{
   printf("Dim Screen\n");
}

ACT_FN_GO_ACPI(undim_screen, __UNUSED__)
{
   printf("Undim Screen\n");
}
