I've downloaded it, and tried using the "install from file" command with A.M.
If you are using Chinook, you need to use the .install / .deb from the chinook repository. Try downloading and installing this:

Or else, in xterm try "apt-get install advanced-backlight" and see what happens.

XTC: Yeah, I don't have an N800 so I can't really test how the light sensor affects the operation of Advanced Backlight, but I would assume that is your problem. You can either disable it (there is a thread somewhere on the forum about this) or else wait for us to properly integrate light sensor support (may be a while, as it is not especially high priority at the moment). We are always looking for tips on how *you* think the light sensor should influence the application.
