Don't blame Nico for the one in the -pxa patches. That one is my fault ;) Mmh, can't find that post. Maybe it's on its way... Anyway, I googled this: http://russ.dhs.org:8000/files/tuxpatches/backlight-2.4.16-rmk1-2 Looks nicer than what I've been using. I wouldn't call it backlight though. Backlight is a device specific term for illumination, isn't it?
