Do we have the ability to pulse width modulate the backlight LEDs? What is
the resolution on the PWM? It's hard to know if this is feasible without a
hardware schematic and specs on the backlight driver. The CL1 spec mentions
a PWM signal, but maybe it only has four bits of resolution?

Hello all,
This is somewhat on-topic, as this code can be used to test the smoothness
of diming the backlight by editing SLP in the included code.
I originally wrote this as I'm planning on using an XO motherboard/screen as
an alarm clock, and will have the brightness set via some fancy HR=$(date
+
How well we can do that isn't clear.
We have 16 brightness levels, but we didn't think about making them
logarithmic in response to correspond to the eye's behavior, so there
are really fewer than that that are useful.
Please experiment and see if it is helpful, of course...
I could be talking nonsense, and perhaps this would consume more power
than it saves, but if you were able to slowly dim the backlight over
the course of a minute or so, instead of waiting a minute and then
dropping it suddenly, we could prevent the sudden change which causes
a break in concentrati

Chris -
The OS X dimming is more than 10 seconds, but not much more. OK, it's
rather lame to make that assertion on a MacBook Pro without timing
it

There's a way this could be improved. We previously had to dim t

I did not try 767 but I have found it very irritating in 763.

Hi,
We made an incremental step in 8.2, offering automatic power management
that is disabled by default, and I propose a talk covering what needs
to happen for us to be comfortable taking the next step to enable it
by default in 9.1. Topics will likely include:
