I guess I can call this blog post done. If nothing else it should be a useful reference for myself in the future.
I wonder how people normally deal with screen brightness on #NetBSD. I assume not *everyone* writes their own small utility in C for it, though that is an appropriately UNIX way of doing things.
@ids1024 using the brightness keys on your keyboard is the real unix way. Do not reinvent the wheel.
@extrowerk Typically you need to bind the brightness keys for them to do anything. Of course, a full-featuted desktop enviornment has something that does that by default (if it works on NetBSD).
