As far as the hardware is concerned, it will stay on. I'm too lazy to check if the kernel will turn it off for you in suspend :) > What about the current consumption? About 5 mA per LED. About 50 mA per LED if the LED has the base resistor problem. Normal suspend current with GSM on should be somewhere around 8 mA, maybe a bit less. So the LED would take a considerable bite out of that, >From a usability point of view, I'm quite sceptical about this idea of using a LED as a permanent indicator. LEDs are very limited in the amount of information they can signal to a human being, and if you have a lot of different states to signal, the patterns may not be very intuitive. I think it would be interesting to try to find a way for resuming the display really quickly, so that one could just bring up the screen, check the status indicators for any news, and then send the device back to sleep. - Werner _______________________________________________ hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/hardware
