[9front] mnt reform kbd

[william]

Any ides how to get the led's for the keyboard on in 9front. Not a big deal but I'm usually in a dark
room and sometimes I have to look down for shift ? {} and =. Its just ever so slightly off and not only that. I kind of liked the backlight.

Thanks. Please note I did mess up the oled when I put it together. I already ordered a new one. 
But regardless the leds for backlight worked in debian. But I am curious about yours and the external. I ordered and external keyboard as well. Regards

Should be independent of the OS to do circle-key then F2. 
Do it again to brighten, circle,F1 to dim them again.

When I pulled the batteries out the lights came up. Power cord only. Circle f1 and f2 worked. Thanks. 

I hope I don't have a short. I will have to experiment some more
