Description

The screen can dim automatically after user inactivity, similar to laptop power-saving behavior. It is useful for desktops or setups that need idle dimming without a full power-management stack.

This is a background daemon that changes display brightness. Test the timeout and brightness values so the screen remains readable and does not interfere with presentations or unattended monitoring.
