questions vanity lights

[Oliver Eichler]

Hi,

the latest add-on to control the XPS vanity lights is highly
appreciated. Just a couple questions:

1. The tools will run just for root. What has to be done to use them as
user, too? How do I make the dcdbas driver to load automatically? I
guess I have to make an entry to modprobe.conf for a certain device. But
what has to be entered exactly?

2. Is there a plan to wrap this into a nice API for easy integration
into applications? Something like:
  CVanityLights::setFanColor(color)
  CVanityLights::setLidColor(color)
  CVanityLights::setSpeakerColor(color)
  CVanityLights::setToutchPad(on|off)
  CVanityLights::setBrightness(level)
  CVanityLights::saveToBios()
  ...

3. "dellLEDCtl -i" tells me that my touch LED info is not supoorted (XPS
M1710) Zone 4 is reported to be ruby, which is correct. However I can
not switch it off by 'dellLEDCtrl -z4 0'. What do I have to do to give
you some debug info?


Thanks

Oliver
