Backlight Settings

This is yet another program that adjust a laptop screen backlighting.

This works only for intel_backlight compatible settings. This probably should've already worked with xbacklight but apparently, in my case, it doesn't.

This particular solution directly writes to the intel_backlight/brightness file. Note that there is a udev rule to set this file as the video group, and then we have a setgid binary as video group.

This sets the backlight as a percentage of maximum brightness.
