On OpenBSD the backlight percentage cannot be retrieved in a simple way.
The only two solutions we are aware of for now are:
- reading from /dev/ttyC0: which isn't possible without changing
permissions or running slstatus as root
- linking against xcb-xrandr: which is bloat and does not work in every
case appearently
This reverts commit 37724ac2c3 for now.

Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
In order to build slstatus you need the Xlib header files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slstatus is installed into the
|
|
/usr/local namespace by default). Uncomment OSSLIBS on OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slstatus (if
|
|
necessary as root):
|
|
|
|
make clean install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running slstatus
|
|
----------------
|
|
See the man page for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
slstatus can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the
|
|
source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Todo
|
|
----
|
|
Cleaning up the whole codebase it the goal before thinking about a release.
