Is there any way to run/use this from command line? Looks like a really neat app

The program essentially just provides a gui to a commandline hack. You can do:
Code:
chroot /mnt/init/ dsmetest -l #
where # is in the range 1-127 and it will change the brightness.

I was talking with someone in #maemo earlier about this, and it didn't appear to work (just because of how it does the brightness changing at the moment). It is possible for a future version to include support for os2007HE though, so don't give up hope!

Thanks!!!

Not sure what others are seeing, but the light meter still adjusts things according to ambient light on my n810 after installing the new control.

It's amazing to see how bright the screen can get... wow..

dsmetest cannot do this in OS<2008. You need modified kernel. See

The fine grained control in dsme (and dsmetest) was done for supporting N810 light sensor, previous versions have only few hardcoded levels and workaround is needed in kernel.

Still, some previous version of this applet worked with such modified kernel, not sure if the current one still does and/or is available for OS2007.

Umm............kind of embarrassed that I am the only one asking this question. Uh...how do you make the original light/vol icons disappear? I am now seeing 3 icons on my desktop, both N800 and N810 running 2008Os. Thanks and thanks for a cool app,

Go to Settings and click control panel > Panels > Status Bar

From here you can click which ones you want to show (checkmark box) and move the order to display them.

Yes, I was afraid of that. You are correct though, the original applet was designed to use the modified kernel, so I could VERY easily return that functionality as the default when installed on 770 hardware. Could someone get me the contents of /proc/component_version on the 770 so I can add detection of it to my platform_check() function?

Edit: Asked in #maemo and got this:

product SU-18
hw-build 1602
nolo 0.9.14

Apparently I'm doing platform detection in an odd way, but it seems reasonable to me...
SU-18 = 770
RX-34 = n800
RX-44 = n810
RC-48 = *insert speculation here*
Thoughts?
