How about something like the attached patch - provides a new interface
org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight which Get/SetBrightness and
GetMaxBrightness methods, plus a BrightnessChanged signal. I plan to
start work on g-p-m next to support using this to control the
backlight from userspace,

One question is that this doesn't provide any authentication / access
control to the dbus interface - if anything I thought that at_console
would be the only restriction if anything, but any thoughts on this
would be appreciated - i.e. at the moment any local user can control
the backlight - perhaps this should be restricted to at_console?

Cheers
Alex
