Package: spicctrl
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

spicctrl allows the display brightness to be adjusted. This is
particularly useful when running off battery.

Please consider installing the following scripts, which will
automatically lower the brightness when the main power is
disconnected, and bring it back to maximum when connected again. The
values could/should probably be exported to /etc/default/spicctrl.

cat <<_eof > /etc/acpi/events/spicctrl-brightness
event=ac_adapter
action=/etc/acpi/actions/spicctrl-brightness.sh
_eof

cat <<_eof > /etc/acpi/actions/spicctrl-brightness.sh
#!/bin/sh -e
# /etc/acpi/actions/spicctrl-brightness.sh

status=`sed -ne "s,state: *,,p" /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state`
case $status in
  "on-line")
    logger -t acpid setting display to high brightness...
    exec /usr/bin/spicctrl -b 255
    ;;
  "off-line")
    logger -t acpid setting display to low brightness...
    exec /usr/bin/spicctrl -b 100
    ;;
