SETBACKLIGHT

A simple program to adjust screen brightness

How to compile:

$ gcc set-backlight.c -o set-backlight

# mv set-backlight /usr/local/bin

# chown root /usr/local/bin/set-backlight

# chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/set-backlight

How to use:

Usage: set-backlight [OPTION]

OPTION can be one of these:

VALUE An integer between 0 and MAX_BRI( integer, hardware dependent )

--increase Increase the screen brightness by ( MAX_BRI - 0 ) / 10 ( an integer )

--decrease Decrease the screen brightness by ( MAX_BRI - 0 ) / 10 ( an integer )

max Set the screen brightness to max ( hardware dependet )

med Set the screnn brightness to med ( (max - min ) / 2 )

min Set the screen brightness to min ( hardcoded, default: 0 )

---

The program will try to detect the the MAX_BRI value atomatically.

If it fails on doing so, try to hardcode the correct value for your screen.
