This is more for my own curiosity sake. I hope you don't mind. I have an ibook g4, and for me display.backlight settings 0-99 turn the back-light completely off, and 100 turns it on. It seems to behave like an on/off switch but with many values for the "off" setting. If I'm reading your posts correctly, you are saying your ibook's back-light never goes off, but rather has two levels of on: "normal" (display.backlight=100) and "full on" (display.backlight=0..99)? If I've read you correctly, are you able to adjust display.brightness while in the "full on" position, and does it have any effect on the brightness? ... and if I've misread you, just ignore this post :) --patrick
