[FSO M4] White Screen of Death growing worse and worse for me :(

*sigh* and I suspect I'm not able to disable dimming the screen on FSO 
Milestone 4 :(

White Screen of Death (even without suspend)
Reported by:RuiSeabra   Owned by:   openmoko-kernel
Priority:   normal  Milestone:  FSO
Component:  System Software Version:GTA02v5
Severity:   major   Keywords:   WSoD white screen death idle fso gta02v5

Description

I've noticed this on the dailies, but now I installed FSO Milestone 4 and it 
happens as well.

Because the WSoD on suspend still isn't solved, I disable suspending.

I count on at least screen dimming to save some energy but... now even dimming 
the screen causes the WSoD after some time (maybe the suspected ten minutes or 
so).

Of course you are. Read the sample config @

Looks like there's a typo on line 76 which I assume should be
'disable = 0':

   74 [oeventsd]
   75 log_level = DEBUG
   76 disbale = 0
   77
   78 [opimd]

 hmms... that is overriding xset s off then, I suppose.
 
 Thanks for the tip.

I only used this section:

[odeviced.idlenotifier]
# add inut nodes to ignore for idle activity
ignoreinput = 2,3,4
# configure timeouts (in seconds) here. A value of 0
# means 'never fall into this state' (except programatically)
idle = 10
dim = 20
idle_prelock = 12
lock = 2
suspend = 0

But it doesn't seem to do anything.

When I do:
echo 2  /sys/class/backlight/pcf50633-bl/brightness

I can still slightly see the screen, but even after a reboot, if I let
frameworkd to do it's job, it gets to 0

A few minutes passed... = White Screen of Death :(

/me sobs inconsolably...

hms... I thought only suspend = 0 would be needed since I'd prefer the
screen to auto lock.

But if currently auto lock == dim = 0 then I will see what lock = 0
results in and report back as soon as I know.

Unfortunately it's actually locking the screen which will provoke the WSOD 
since Harald brought us the power-saving patch.

IIRC setting also idle_prelock = 0 did the trick for me

Thank you Klaus! It did the trick for me too.

Of course WSoD needs to go away asap, but it's much better to have a light dim 
than
the full brighness :)
