Light 0.4
---------
- Description ---
"Light" is a program to control backlight-controllers in GNU/Linux-systems. It is the successor of "LightScript",
which is a bash-script with the same purpose, and tries to maintain the same functionality.
It features:
* Works excellent where other software has proven unusable/problematic(xbacklight etc) thanks to how
it operates internally.
* Automatically figures out the best controller to use depending on its resolution, making full use
of the underlying hardware.
* Written in ANSI C89 - which practically makes it as portable as a program can be, with the exception
of the glibc-dependency.
- Usage ---
Executed without arguments, light prints usage-information that is pretty self-explanatory.
Examples:
Set brightness to 40 percent:
light 40
Increase brightness with 10% and supress output:
light -aq 10
Print the maximum-brightness of the best controller and exit:
light -m
- Installation ---
1. Install the neccesary buildtools (make, gcc etc)
2. Type "make stable"
3. Success? Copy/symlink the "light"-executable to /usr/bin.
4. Enjoy!
