[SHR-unstable] settings - power - auto-dimming or who's responsible for blanking?

[Thomas Franck]

Hi..

I did an update/upgrade last night ~20:00CET and among other things the
shr-settings got updated.. you guys keep adding things - thank you. :)

I've been playing with it a bit and at first I noticed that the Power
Settings (the module for Auto-Dimming and Auto-Suspend) does not
re-show once I moved a switch.. had to restart to make it show again
(not sure if xserver restart would have been sufficient - didn't try)
today it is displayed every time I try.. weird.. :P

However, except for auto-suspend:off the settings I make do not have any
effect.. I have auto-dimming:off and it still goes blank after 30secs..
whatever timeouts I set.. it still blanks after 30secs.. (does not
suspend, though.. :))

Now.. if I use the illume wrench to set the display - power - Blank
Time to off then the shr-settings auto-dimming works. Though, even
with auto-suspend:off, it will suspend if auto-dimming:on and the
timout is set to 0.

Sooo.. my experiences in short: if you want to use the shr-settings,
make sure to disable the illume power settings.

Ooops.. just now while fiddling.. the Power Settings moduledisappeared
again.. restarting the xserver sorted it (like usual ;))

Hope someone finds it useful.
Cheers,

same experience here (have had shr-settings with dim/suspend
controls from git since saturday). I cannot see any patterns on when
the PowerSettings disappear... i guess we just have to watch the logs
and spitted messages closely :)

Power Settings uses ophonekitd, so it disappears when ophonekitd
crashed - look at log in /var/log/ophonekitd.log ;)

Illume power settings are obsolete and are removed in newer Illume
(which SHR will use if only one bug is fixed), and with actual images
dimming from Illume is disabled by default.
