Yes, potentiometer will be last resort. Brightness control is the next obstacle. Wow this is been one challenging adventure. Have a look at the attached pic. I found a pin out online. Will that be useful for me if I can tap into pin 35 and 36? I'm confused with this PWM line. Is that that adjustable voltage line?
If you want software controlled brightness, you'll very likely have to implement Kiwi's solution. He and MacTester worked very hard on it and found success. Its possible but unlikely you'll be able to achieve native control from OSX, given that your hardware isn't Apple. That said, there's nothing like trying. Great things are not achieved until great resistance is overcome.
Cheers!
