Dear @nathanRamaNoodles, your backlight_dimmer fork is a great idea, so I appreciate it!

I'am trying to integrate it on my raspberry pi 3b+ with the official 7inch touch display running in kiosk-mode with FullPageOS distro (version 2019-12-01_2019-09-26-fullpageos-no-acceleration-buster-lite-0.11.0.zip) with no success.

After installation, when I fire the command 'sudo ./timeout pi 30 event0 event1' nothing happening. Do you think my problem it will be the input device?

You can get all the events/inputs available on your OS by typing this in the terminal:

ls /dev/input/

I know but it doesn't work for each input I tried:

pi@fullpageos:~/backlight-dimmer $ ls /dev/input/
by-path  event0  mice  mouse0

Do you have an idea or a way to debug it?
