Hi there,
               Looking at the code in ite8181.c (this ia R3.0 code) you can 
see that the "brightness" calls (ite8181_init_brightness et al) end up 
calling:-

   config_hook_call(CONFIG_HOOK_GET, CONFIG_HOOK_BRIGHTNESS,&val)

and the like. 

Scanning the source from /usr/src/sys on down, there is no call that registers 
this config hook for hpcmips machines except for the Sharp Telios machines.

If we can find out what the hardware mechanism is which WINCE uses to tweek 
the brightness, we can easily write the necessary hook and then we are in 
business.   Similar things apply to the contrast.

So now we need a kind soul who will share the knowledge ..... :-)

cheers
pete
