Backlight cycles between values #23

Thanks for providing this - its nice to have these features. Just built 2.3.1 and was happy to see lightum can now manage the backlight too.

However, on my MacBook Air (5,2) when run in auto mode it just cycles the backlight between values, resetting it at each poll interval, thus the screen cycles bright - dim - bright. Almost working! Keyboard brightness work fine.

Any suggestions on how I might fix this? I'd live to have the backlight auto adjust.
