Automatic switching with light sensors does not work with new MacBook Pro about blacktree-nocturne HOT 5 OPEN

Also does not work on Gen 2 MBA as well.

same for me! it doesn't work on the first gen macbook air

When I put my thumb over the light sensor on my Gen 2 MBA, the lowest value I 
receive
is 2263.  On an overcast day with ambient light, I am seeing sensor values in 
the
4000s.  Somehow the values for measuring ambient light for the newer Apple 
hardware
is inconsistent on the newer hardware platforms.  I'd really love this feature 
but I
can imagine that if the API is not yielding consistent values for different 
hardware
platforms this could be very difficult to fix.

For some reson either the (new?) MacBook Pro or the new OS seems to have a total
different scaling in concerning light sensors.
On my system IOConnectMethodScalarIScalarO(...) get's values somewhere between 
100000
and 1000000 (the preferences pane does not have enough digits to display this 
correctly).

I've created a small hack: If the light sensor values are beyond 10000 they are
divided by 1000. Not sure if this will work on every system, but it fixes the 
problem
for me.

Can someone please upload a compiled version with the included patch?

Thanks in advance.
