Now committed in SVN. > - can be set SUID and bound to keyboard shortcuts via xbindkeys Why do you need the SUID bit? On my machine the device is rw for everybody: $ ls -l /sys/class/leds/smc\:kbd_backlight/brightness -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 2006-11-30 13:04 /sys/class/leds/smc:kbd_backlight/brightness But since you use /var/lib/keylight to store the old value you _have_ to be root to write in /var/lib. My script uses /tmp/keyboard_brigthness_old_value so do not need to be root. > Let me know what you think! Thanks for the idea. My version is 42 lines of shell script. Your version is 113 lines of C (I used sloccount to just count the lines of code). -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseaummm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
