Dear friends!

As a lot of us said, the n900's LCD has too "powerful" light-value even on minimum.
Everybody use Simple Brightness Applet for daily use, don't we? But at night, used befour sleep, the minimum burned my eyes out.

I use a simple shell script, read in the forum, which contains for minimum light: (noobs, like me, run command sudo gainroot first on the X Terminal!)
echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness

The other command is for dark screen:
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness
in the Enhanced Linux kernel the minimum is 0, not 1

BUT
When the light sensor detects light (my lamp), it turns the brightness to normal vault (in the settings-display the lowes value is 7! ) And I have to run my little script again. And again...

So, the question is:
- - How can we disable light sensor? - -
...or how to find an other solution to keep low light?
Can we make the minimum light to the standard?
Thanks for the replies!
