the hal-find-by-capability --capability keyboard_backlight outputs nothing.... if i try: hal-device | grep kbd 41: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/leds_smc_kbd_backlight' linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/leds_smc_kbd_backlight' (string) leds.function = 'kbd_backlight' (string)
