This should not happen, and doesn't happen here. Though anyhow, consider using quick-settings's toggle for keeping screen alive (i.e when reading) > And as far as "nobody using the screen" - how about reading > ebooks, looking files etc When you read ebooks etc you are using the screen"forever" so dim changes won't help, you need to either request Display with fsoraw or use the toggle in quick-settings, either way, it's unrelated to dim timeouts. > . You have to keep touching the screen.

I disagree, dimming is a small undrastic pause between actually locking screen/going to suspend which are very annoying to "undo". > After dimming, the screen is unreadable outdoors so just uses > power so what is it for? - I cant see any justification for having it. > > * have not tried latest as I normally just disable dim on principle. > Again, we haven't changed defaults yet. > > BillK > > > > > -- Tom.
