I found this old bug report about user-customizable minimum brightness setting, that says "Fixed in Fremantle", but I still don't know how to customize the brightness level:

Anyway I think the levels are not hardcoded but computed from the brightness levels and brightness_max, if you look at 255/5 it's 51, which is exactly what the levels are multiples of...

yes the 5 "new" levels are roughly 255 divided by 5 or in 51 intervals.
i made a quick widget to get the very dim screen (brightness 2), when you don't want to disturb anybody, it has an on/off function, also when the screen is turned off & on the normal setting will be restored, this widget will work on the N900 without this mod, with this mod & my old custom brightness mod

How's the new brightness mod/fix working for you guys?

Still can't believe that i didn't find the brightness-simple file/edit before now.....
Looking at how old my first post is, not many days after i got the N900, it was really a big annoyance with that light sensor, and also the battery runtime, but i fixed that in my battery thread

So far, no complaints. And now the startup sequence isn't dark, either.

Just updated the 'Dim Screen' a few posts back, now it checks status so when the screen is 'Restored' it shows it

Just bumping this thread, maybe you have been troubled by the dumb light-sensor adjusting the screen brightness or wanted a better brightness the the LAME 5 options from stock

And you haven't seen this fix and mod if you want total control over the brightness of your screen

sorry will correct that, i have noticed this also, think a quick MCE.INI edit will tone down the LED brightness.

will look into this later today

just bumping this thread for everybody that hasn't read this and like some of us are pretty ignored by the normal screen brightness and light sensor
