Backlight cycles between values

Open RelativePrime opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

Thanks for providing this - its nice to have these features. Just built 2.3.1 and was happy to see lightum can now manage the backlight too.

However, on my MacBook Air (5,2) when run in auto mode it just cycles the backlight between values, resetting it at each poll interval, thus the screen cycles bright - dim - bright. Almost working! Keyboard brightness work fine.

Any suggestions on how I might fix this? I'd live to have the backlight auto adjust.

Can you re-check with the most recent version in master?
