James,

	As far as I know, the two that seem worth looking at, at the moment,
are Russ Dill's implementation, which was posted to the LAK list in this
thread, and Nicolas' implementation in the -pxa patches.
There are obviously others out there, but said other implementations are
individual hacks for certain machine types, and aren't generally useful.

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?

Cheers,
