do u need to check some key register.....

i guess not. did some research, seems you can't set the backlight in any way.

poor, but true.

under power settings there is 'backlight off' and 'display off'.
i set the backlight off to quick (15secs) but display off to 2 minutes. The display is quite readable indoors with the backlight off (I suspect it is on a little - so the description in settings is not accurate).

Hopefully a firmware update will bring proper brightness control. Although I rememer my C500 and C550 not having it as well.

Im not sure if the hardware supports multiple levels for backlight.
I tried an app to test.(only tested on vda2 wm 5.0)
the only thing that happens is off or on.
but it works on ppc version!(didnt try on real ppc , but the emulator does switch light conditions! nothing happens on sp emulator)

no, unfortunately it's not supported.

big, big disadvantage!

Verify this Keyreg....and update on your SP.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Backlight\

- AcTimeout = 60
- AutoSensor = 1
- BatteryBacklight = 40
- BatteryTimeout = 15
- m_ACTimeout = 0
- m_BatteryTimeout = 0
