You've tried this? I had someone with a IIIx test this code and they
reported pretty good results, better than the 3.1.1 patch gave. But I'm open
to any input.

Is this feature of "Visor" OS 3.1 documented anywhere? I'm happy to pull the
SysLCDContrast calls for Visors (and OS 3.3 and later) but I'd like to feel
confident that the results will be better than what I achieve with the
current code.
