W00000p - i detailed a bit about the backscreen on my healthcheck page here -
http://www.greg-roberts.com/index.ph..._id=7&Itemid=1

But the basic commands to get the backscreen light and therefore find out more about it are:

x-Terminal commands -
Actual Brightness level - cat /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness
Max Brightness level - cat /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/max_brightness

Take a look at what is actually in the /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm folder. i assume it is possible to write to these and monitor, therefore changing the brightness?
