While watching Martha Stewart Presents Everyday Foods, on PBS this morning, I noticed that I could barely see the screen on my laptop.  Off to the Internet!!!

After digging through bazillions of postings, there it was…

The light sensor on my laptop doesn’t function properly under Heron. You can prove this by taking a flashlight and placing it directly over the light sensor (right beside the “Altec Lansing” logo). WOWZEE!!! Bright screen…take it away, dimness reigns.

So, popping open my trusty terminal, I entered the following commands:

sudo su  <hit Enter…then follow it up with your password. Mine is “imalazyboy”>
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch  <hit Enter>

Once again…WOWZEE!!! Bright screen.

I’m so happy. So lazy, but so happy.

Back to PBS…
