Hello everyone, it's my first post here. :-)

It might be blunt, but does anyone have old images of 2008.8-update without
this problem with unconditional suspend? Or maybe there could be an archive
of, say, week of packages (they have date in their filename anyway), so if one
version doesn't suddenly do what you want, you can always try the previous
one?

Best regards,

I installed this image few minutes ago and it still suspends after 30s of
screen inactivity, even with suspend turned off.

Yes, seems to be the screensaver. Switch it off with `xset s off'. But

Great. Thanks. This makes it usable at least. 
I have tried 2008.08-update with the testing feed int the meantime. The issue 
seems to be resolved there. So we may get a fix for this in the near future.

And now, back to stable feeds :) (testing currently seems to have problem with 
gtk GUI painting)

Thanks. Using

(via ssh) works.

Interesting - if i turn the screensaver off, then on again, 'xset q'
now reports:

It now seems like the screensaver timeout is set to 600 (seconds?).

Om2008.8 - latest update - FR suspends after 30 secs - unconditionally

2008-08-31 Thread Torfinn Ingolfsen
Hello,

I just flashed my FreeRunner with the latest kernel and rootfs from
Om2008.8 update[1]. Images dated August 31st, to be precise.
After booting, I discovered that the FR suspends after 30 secs. No
problem, I'll just go into settings and turn off suspend.

But it doesn't work. No matter what I set suspend to, it always
suspends after 30 secs (unless I continually tap the screen).

I guess everybody understands how frustrating it is trying to work
with a device that suspends every 30 secs. Since I don't have three
hands, it is very difficult to to try to fix things via usb.
I see from the support list that a couple of other people also have
disovered this issue, but no solution. I tried looking at trac, but
couldn't find anything.

Please, any hints on how to fix this?

On a general note: could we ask to have all new images shipped with
suspend _off_ until the devlopement is finished at least?
And preferably tested as well

Confirmed. I'm trying to fight the same issue right now. Unfortunately I have 
no solution so far.

If you are just working over ssh I have a small workaround for you. Most of 
the time, before the Neo suspends, the X-Screensaver comes up. If you wake the 
Neo up without touching the screen (screen should be left blank with backlight 
slightly on) it doesn't suspend any more until you touch the screen (stop the 
screensaver). As it happens quite often that you need to touch the screen 
while testing, this is not a real workaround. But it can help just doing some 
installs, configs or something else on the terminal without having to touch 
your screen every 20 seconds to prevent suspending.

Yes, that is the one.

I tried with the 'apm' command, but it is useless for this - iyt can
only show parameters and suspend the phone, not change suspend timer.
Crap.
