Hi, controlling brightness works for me (via shell) - taking matt's advice into account: > \VBRC seems to allow control over the backlight, at least, so those of you with sore eyes or the 3-cell battery may have some success using the acpi_call port (Danger!) > kldload acpi_call > acpi_call -p '\VBRC' -i n (where n is 0-16; 17 (and -1) is off) Cheers, Hannes
