Brightness Control for Awesome WM

=================================

This is a tiny Lua library to interface the [Awesome window manager][] with

[light][], a program that can control the backlight of your laptop screen

and keyboard.

Install

-------

First, you need to install [list][].

Second, in your awesome configuration directory:

```sh

    cd ~/.config/awesome/

    git clone git://github.com/troglobit/awesome-light.git light

```

In your `rc.lua`:

```lua

    local light = require("light")

    light.exec     = "light"          -- optional, set to abs path

    light.kbd      = ""               -- optional, default: thinkpad ctrl

    light.kbd_step = 1                -- optional, default: 1

    light.dpy_cap  = 2                -- optional, default: 2

    light.dpy_step = 10               -- optional, default: 10

    light.init()                      -- sets diplay min cap

```

Usage

-----

Done! Now you have these functions at your disposal:

* `light.dpy_inc()`

* `light.dpy_dec()`

* `light.kbd_toggle()`

They're pretty self-explanatory ... but here's an example for your

`rc.lua`:

```lua

-- Brightness

    globalkeys = gears.table.join(globalkeys,

	    awful.key({}, "XF86MonBrightnessUp",   function () light.dpy_inc() end),

	    awful.key({}, "XF86MonBrightnessDown", function () light.dpy_dec() end)

    )

    root.keys(globalkeys)

```
