Wasn't aware of that -- just checked, and there's some mention of
'Macbook backlight' in their recent change logs. If by that they mean
keyboard backlight on macbooks, I hope it also works on the older ppc
hardware.
May be worth waiting for it to just show up in HAL, then... :)
The features you mentioned are indeed part of HAL. However, there seems
to be a (packaging?) bug in the F7 HAL which would enable these controls
(atleast for an intel MacBook Pro I tried this on). See bug #247481 for
details.
Thanks,
