Re: how to turn off and lock the n800 (answer)

2007-10-19 Thread Laurent MARTIN 

So recapitulating, for those who were asking how to do it:
* When the PowerKeyShortAction=softpoweroff the keys are locked
* When the PowerKeyLongAction=softpoweroff the keys are NOT locked
Wait, wait, wait ;-) As far as I've tested it on my N800, setpoweroff  
locks the keys and the screen in both situations, no matter on which  
Action (Short or Long) it has been affected. My N800 is configured  
with PowerKeyLongAction=softpoweroff since nearly the beginning and  
the keys are always locked as soon as I press the PowerKey for more  
than ~1.5 sec.
Am I the only one? I can't imaging why things would differ depending  
on Short/LongAction...

  Unfortunately it does not disable the keys. It would be nice if it
  did, except for a long-press of the on-botton again.

 Kemal softpoweroff works better if you assign it to the short press. I use
 Kemal it that way and it also locks the keys. I also made it so that the
 Kemal long press brings up the power menu.

thanks Kemal,

I finally had time to try this and it works as Kemal explains.

So recapitulating, for those who were asking how to do it:

* When the PowerKeyShortAction=softpoweroff the keys are locked

* When the PowerKeyLongAction=softpoweroff the keys are NOT locked

If you are interested in having the keys locked and the display turned
off in one single action:

* modify /etc/mce/mce.ini (be careful, and make a backup copy just in case):

   change PowerKeyShortAction to:

   PowerKeyShortAction=softpoweroff

   and change PowerKeyLongAction to:

   PowerKeyLongAction=menu

* now if you press the power button (I)

1) Short press - turn off screen, and lock keys, and disable screen sensitivity

  To wake it up - press (I) for at least 1.5 seconds (this is the
  default timeout for longPress)

2) Long press (at least 1.5 seconds) - brings menu up
