Hi!
How can I disable and enable the display light dimmer in a C application? I want to keep the light on, while the application is
running.
Is there also a dbus call o do this via script?

There is no direct way to do this.
The simple brightness applet sets up a timer and calls
osso_display_state_on (plugin->priv->osso_context)
every 50 seconds.

As posted by David Weinehall on maemo-dev mailing list, execute this dbus command every 30 seconds from your program:

Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.req_display_blanking_pause
