As it stands, neither the monochrome nor colour modes are OK in full sunlight.
The colour mode causes a significant loss of resolution for reading small black

this note is kind of long for what seems like a simple feature, but
there are some complications i'd like feedback on.
i've implemented one of the more amusing features of the 1.75 laptop,
which is using its ability to monitor ambient light levels in order to
turn off the backlight automatically

Just to reinforce a few points which maybe might not be clear to
people who haven't played with the new hardware:
1) the switch point is set that *you cannot tell when we turn the
backlight off*. Ie, the threshold is so high that by the time we turn
it off, you couldn't never have told whether

Can the keyboard backlight control have an extra step at the end,

Then the auto-backlight would be allowed to bring it down to
off/color, and the user could go the extra step to off/mono.

The shift from colour to monochrome is noticable and would be annoying if it
happened a lot, for example as clouds pass, trees and people move.
If the hysterisis, the difference between cutin and cutout brightness is large,
the change in mode will happen a lot less frequently and not be
