I'm speaking about *keyboard* backlight here, not screen backlight
(which is already available using both the acpi driver and the intel
graphic driver). There is also a setting to enable USB power while
sleeping without having to change it in the BIOS, and it's probably
possible to control the sound and wlan led.

Arg... I can understand the code, I can easilly write ACPI and WMI
drivers, but the "SABI" thing will be harder to reverse engineer :).
