The HP Compaq Pro 6300 has a camera in the top of the bezel.
That was my idea that it would use the camera to get the light
info. Seems it should be pretty straight forward you look at the
pixels get an average of them all and adjust the screen based on
preset levels. I am not sure why it would
If this is a laptop, you could always take a picture with it's camera using
mplayer, then get average brightness using imagemagick or similar instead
of trying to get the light sensor working.

elsewhere on the property. The 6300 just displays the critical camera
screens.
My issue is that I am trying to figure out how to use the camera on the
machine
to detect ambient light and adjust screen brightness. I see
