Binary package hint: hal
On a imac(white) Core2Duo, ATIX1600, there is no way, using tools included with the distribution, to change the intensity of the LCD backlight. One has to use a program by Nicolas Boichat called bl1.c (which by the way seems to have stopped working with the present state of 8.04-Hardy). This is annoying as the screen defaults to max brightness, which many find quite blinding. This problem seems to affect all models of Intel iMacs and Macbooks. I wonder if there is a solution at kernel level somewhere?
