DESCRIPTION:
ambnb is a freeBSD kernel module which allow users to manage the backlight of their screen via the sysctl interface. It was originally written by Patrick Lamaiziere [email protected] in 2009. It works at least for macbookpro from 1,2 up to 4,2 (not tested for other models. I modifyied it slight a bit in order to make it usable by unpriviledged users and to move it from hw branch to dev branch.
