Re: [iPAQ] backlight ambient sensor

AFAIK, there isn't any driver for this device. Once the driver is
written, you could easily write a daemon to read /dev/<name of device>
and then do the ioctl() to update the frontlight brightness.

I could probably write the daemon if someone else wants to write the
driver (I don't have enough time). ;-)
