Thanks for this power-save and the accompanying deb package, I'm not a programmer but installed and browsed the features, I've used several flavors of Linux over the years and am fairly familiar with how to maintain these systems. (mailto:devel%40lists.laptop.org?Subject=debxo%20ohmd%20testers%20wanted&In-Reply-To=) Thanks specifically to James Cameron for the posts.
One comment, the suspend period is VERY short by default, post-install timed the shutdown around one minute, I reset the timescale in the /etc/ohm INI files to reduce brightness of the backlight and tweaked the timeout to 200 minutes, I'm not interested in automatic (chron) suspend application, the POWEROFF button and closing the XO lid to save power are my only desired features, they work without a hitch in coordination with Mplayer and other running applications (Evince, Thunar, open teriminal). Resume was quick and reliable using these features. I'm using the XFCE/DebXO .5 image, as I've stated the OHM features are quite dependable. I also use the command line load of "ohm --no-daemon" at the prompt, I've got F2 hotkey/scripted under the "xbindkey" TSR macro program, disabled the "update-rc.d" option while testing because as stated above the inherent default suspend timeframe was too short for practical purposes. I'll continue using this DEB and associated libraries until something else (maybe included in the image?) comes along as simple and easily configured, thanks again for the R&D from a non-programming vantage. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
