Hi Justin,

  Is it possible to have the value in the sysctl be 0-100, or 0-10 ? It 
might be a bit confusing for the user to have to know that the range is 
0x34-0xff, and have the sysctl code clamp to these.

  Are the MIN_BRIGHTNESS/MAX_BRIGHTNESS values the same for all models ?

later,

Peter.
