+Description: Control display backlight controllers and LEDs
|
|
15
|
+ Light is a useful tool to control display brightness in lightweight
|
|
16
|
+ desktops or window managers that do not have bundled appliations for
|
|
17
|
+ this purpose.
|
|
18
|
+ .
|
|
19
|
+ Most modern laptops have moved away from hardware controlled brightness
|
|
20
|
+ and require software control. Light works where other software has
|
|
21
|
+ proven to be unreliable, e.g. xbacklight. It can even be used from the
|
|
22
|
+ console as it does not rely on X.
|
|
23
|
+ .
|
|
24
|
+ Light has features like setting a minimum brightness value, as well as
|
|
25
|
+ saving and restoring the brightness at reboot and startup.
