This project does not accept contributions. It is finished and does what I want of it.

It does not mention any kernel version dependency.

It also does not have any hard dependencies on a desktop environment or display server.

Note that keylightd needs to be run as root, since it accesses the Embedded Controller to control the keyboard backlight.
