== Backlight == | |||
All current distributions do not have a good setup for the backlight at low brightness. | |||
If configured too low, the backlight shuts down completely, but the screen is still displayed and usable in bright front-light. | |||
Sailfish is currently the only OS that initially uses automatic backlight control. This makes the screen to appear blank. When shining a bright light on the screen, you can still navigate the screen. (and maybe the screen switches on temporarily due to the light sensor) This will make it possible for you to disable auto brightness in Settings, Display. | |||
