i would have thought that a script that doesn't require bash, invokes no external processes (catmoran's invokes two) would be more sophisticated, not less. :-) i understand your point about max_brightness, but the values i hard-coded in the hardware, and i see little reason to ask the kernel for the value, in that case.
Agreed, all valid points.
we could -- in fact, the daemon could simply change the permissions itself. are you concerned that users can't change the brightness themselves? or that the script runs as root?
The former.
should this still use the macro in that case?
The macro is useful if we decide to change our arch again, but as long as you are following Fedora's development you can also use BuildArch: i386 again, I don't really mind.
