lightup's Issues

Reload udev rules without reboot

Force udev to load the brightness rules file without rebooting the computer

Better documentation

add increment, decrement option documentation

can't run as normal user.

'lightup' won't run as a normal user in Debian Buster. sudo does work.

Make brightness value range uniform across systems

Make the possible values for brightness lie in the 0 to 100 range across computers. Now the upper limit varies from computer to computer

Implementing Fade to brightness value

Let the brightness reach an absolute value set using "-b" option using fading effect

Make lightup also work with AMD CPUs

The backlight file for Intel CPUs reside in "/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight" and for AMD CPUs, it is in "/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness". Make lightup compatible with both AMD and Intel CPUs

Implement an inbuilt upgrade mechanism

Allow the user to ugprade lightup without manual download and installation, preferably using an inbuilt switch
