I don't like the ideas I came up with so far. And I also wanted to package picotool stuff first... | 17:24 |
| josch | packaging might not be too bad because it seems that nothing needs to be built and only the source needs to be available somewhere -- probably under /usr/src/pico... or similar | 17:26 |
| josch | i'm not very motivated because those git repose do not have any tags or releases | 17:26 |

| swivel | i just wonder if maybe the backlight driver can have a component tweaked to overdrive the backlight a bit, i remember the led backlight driver for the ccfl thinkpad conversion kits could be cranked up by changing a resistor or something like that | 17:42 |

| digitalrayne | minute, i'm still using that brighter/more contrasty display on my reform - the only thing i've noticed is sometimes the lower pwm levels flicker a bit, but this could be a software thing, i'm not running the standard mnt image | 23:05 |
| digitalrayne | at max brightness it hurts my eyes but i am also a goblin who lives in a dim cave | 23:05 |
| vkoskiv | Okay, at | | now. The upstream git version works, but I don't know why yet. | 23:09 |
| vkoskiv | Ah, debian unstable has a newer version than the arch repo. Should maybe ping the arch maintainer that the last release is from 2017, and there have been many fixes since then :D | 23:14 |
