How to increase screen dimming/blanking timeouts: Thanks to derf in #maemo irc for help on this! To set your display dim and blank timeouts directly (for e.g. to 1/2 hour and 1 hour - 1800 and 3600 seconds respectively) run this from ssh/xterm:
gconftool-2 -s "/system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout" 1800 -t INT gconftool-2 -s "/system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout" 3600 -t INT You can also add round values to the list of timeouts that 'display settings' shows in the drop down list. I have tested with 30 and 60 minute settings, as these display properly in the "Brightness period" and "Switch off display" drop-down lists. Setting to an odd value like "962" seconds resulted in a blank entry in the list. gconftool-2 -t list --list-type=int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts [30,60,120,300,600,1800,3600] gconftool-2 -t list --list-type=int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_blank_timeouts [30,60,120,300,600,1800,3600] These settings remain persistent after reboot. Hope these are as heplful to you as they were for me! Cheers, Arnim Sauerbier ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff? Loosen up...
