Does somebody have tried to patch smartdimmer too?
I was originally working on HAL configuration to make the FN-keys & the gnome brightness applet & the on-screen display work with smartdimmer. I made a .deb for it like somebody said.
I am actually trying to use "nvclock" instead with the workaround ( sudo cp -r ~/.nvclock /root ) . It works but there is a significant cpu consumption that i didn't found in smartdimmer.
So if somebody can make something like smartdimmer or patch it for the nvidia 8 cards. It will be great.
Here is a testing package to use nvclock.
PS: you need to have the nvclock cvs version working, install the package and do :
sudo cp -r ~/.nvclock /root
sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
