I want a software switch that says "unLEDed" so I can turn blinking lights off on any app if I so choose.

That's the marvel of communities. All it takes is a good topic-starter. :-) > and YES I agree, the remaining V5 vs V6 issues seem small > (but we did get extra info and clarification, thanks Tony). BTW, there is a way to work around the v5 issue in software. Because the LED in an unmodified v5 shines 6 or so times as bright as it should (and eats 6 times more power), the solution is to correct the brightness with PWM to reduce it 6 times. This would bring the brightness and power consumption to normal. However, I suspect that for many community members who were so eager to prefer v6 over v5, simply knowing that there is a workaround, and thus no known unavoidable hardware bugs exist in v5, would be enough, and actually implementing the workaround would not be that important. :-) -- Alexey Feldgendler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ICQ: 115226275] http://feldgendler.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
