should suspend turn off backlight ?
G1G1. AC is plugged in. Q2D11. Recently, 1628. I normally run with 'suspend' inhibited -- to preserve my wired connection. [Am using an USB-ethernet adapter. 'Suspend' drops power on the USB, and loses the local_LAN IP address. 'Resume' does NOT re-establish this (wired) local LAN connection.] With 'suspend' inhibited, the display blinks periodically -- the backlight dims, then after a bit brightens again. If I go away for a long time, the display is dark when I come back to it. Tried running with 'suspend' permitted. The backlight dimmed, USB power was lost, and the power light started blinking. Came back hours later, and the backlight was still dim. If power is to be saved by turning off the CPU, oughtn't power *also* be saved by turning off the backlight ? mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
