+ - Description ---
|

5
|
+
|
|
6
|
+"Light" is a program to control backlight-controllers in GNU/Linux-systems. It is the successor of "LightScript",
|
|
7
|
+which is a bash-script with the same purpose, and tries to maintain the same functionality.
|
|

|
+
|

|
+It features:
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+ * Works excellent where other software has proven unusable/problematic(xbacklight etc) thanks to how
|
|
12
|
+ it operates internally.
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+ * Automatically figures out the best controller to use depending on its resolution, making full use
|
|
15
|
+ of the underlying hardware.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+ * Written in ANSI C89 - which practically makes it as portable as a program can be, with the exception
|
|
18
|
+ of the glibc-dependency.
