Hello everyone,
I've put together a little app, written in C, that dims the LCD after an
inactivity period. This is a little feature that i've seen on macs, that
i like, specially since it saves some battery.
The code requires libxss (with the headers to build from source).
Under ubuntu it's just a matter of installing libxss and have a build
environment and run make in the source dir:
sudo apt-get install libxss1 libxss-dev build-essential
This is just something i put together for fun, so if there is any
interest i can do some code cleanup, and put together a better package.
Also, i put up a webpage so that anyone willing to try it out can download.

Any feedback or bug report would be nice.
Best Regards,
Alfredo Matos
