I leave my XOs up 24/7. I don't recall os5 (or earlier parrish versions) ever having locked up when left idle.

In fact, I have adjusted the parameters for olpc-powerd to better fit how I like to use the XOs. The result is that after a couple minutes of idle the os5 XO suspends (power light pulsing very slowly). When I want to use the XO again, I press the power button to come out of suspend, and the <shift> button as confirmation that I want to resume working with the XO. [ The only awkwardness comes from my habit of transferring 100+ MB files between XOs - taking considerable time without console input. The XO power-saving function apparently does not recognize 'ethernet in use' as "busy", and eventually dims the backlight on me - I have to press <shift> (which does not otherwise affect anything going on) to restore the screen. [I have not actually noticed whether the XO would "suspend" while the ethernet is transferring data - but I believe "resume" on F11_builds such as os5 would recover from the (external) ethernet adapter being powered down by "suspend".] ] mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
