    Hi guys,
    ive tried to solve the "problem" with help from german communitys, but there it couldnt be solved - now i hope you could.

    Everytime i plug of the power-connector, the light wents down 4 or 5 steps because of powersave or accu-runtime - BUT the light of my aao is always at darkest + 1.
    For short: could someone help me with writing a (perl)script, which holds the light constant (may putting it darker on connection and lighter, when i disconnect the powersupply).

    Thanks and sry for my bad english :roll:

    Still not possible for now, brightness control handled by BIOS. I have self compiled kernel with acer-wmi support and now KPowersave have brightness and autodimm option. I can control both options but not affect to the hardware. I will try to contact acer-wmi author about possibility to control AA1 LCD and backlight via software.
