Perfect. At first I just thought it was a gimmick, but then really
missed it, especially when watching tv on my laptop and wanting easy
location of shortcuts without needing to turn the main room light back on.
Am going to try changing my modprobe options to set the right values for
kbd_backlight and kbd_backlight_timeout
