This is a complete rewrite of my old pet project, as I felt the need to severely clean up the code. See the old thread here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153210

Anyway, new version, completely new command line usage -- sorry, it was pretty much inevitable. More complete functionality as well: no more hacking when you want to set minimal brightness or specify a controller, it's all done in command line now. It's also installed with root capabilities directly, so no more hacking with that either. Just makepkg -si and off you go!

If you face any problems, don't forget to run it with the verbosity flag, -v 3, to get all the errors! You will probably get a lot of errors (if you get one), they are there to make it easier to trace the problem in code (you pretty much get a stack).

I want to make it clear that the changes to the command line usage was done for several good reasons, including the fact that it wasn't very intuitive before.

UPDATE:

* The AUR package has been split up in 2, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/light/ and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/light-git/ .

* It also has an official website now (thanks to github): http://haikarainen.github.io/light/

* Even more functionality

* There are deb packages available.

Any feedback appreciated!
