Re: [Announce] EBD - Enhanced Backlight Daemon

Sorry guys... I will continue working on this as soon as I get back from my trip!

And if anyone wants the code in the meantime let me know!

Re: [Announce] EBD - Enhanced Backlight Daemon

what would be nice is if you made this something like f.lux. though, i don't know if that's possible with the n900. and xflux just MIGHT be able to run on it. you never know

Yes, that would be nice. There is an opensource program "redshift" that does the same and it's packaged in (easy) debian. Problem is that it doesn't work, at least on my n900. Xrandr method does nothing, and vidmode X server extension is missing. On my linux desktop with an nvidia card it works, but only through vidmode.

And about EBD GUI -- it would be great to be able to switch automatic mode on/off and set fixed brightness with logarithmic slider.

BTW, here is how to turn off standard automatic brightness adjustment:
