Instead of the usual thing of wanting to keep the display on, I want to
keep it off. Let me describe the situation...

I'm writing a music player (yes, another one!) which I can operate while
walking (I do a lot of this). Specifically, I wanted to be able to skip
songs without getting the n800 out of my pocket, so I implemented a mode
where the player ignores all touchscreen input, and responds only to
hardware keypresses.

Only issue is that, of course, whenever the screen is hit, the display
turns on again, even though nothing can happen. Any idea of how I'd go
about keeping it off? I've tried echoing "0" to
/sys/devices/platform/omapfb/panel/backlight_level, but something keeps
turning the display back on (perhaps I can convince _that_ to keep it
off?)


Look at:

/sys/devices/platform/omap2_mcspi.1/spi1.0/disable_ts and disable_kp

Writing '1' to disable_ts should do what you want.
Writing '1' to disable_kp should disable all keys _except_ the power key.

Regards,
Amit
