Hi
Is it possible to switch off the LCD whilst listening to music using OZ/GPE? There was an applet thing for the Sharp roms using Qtopia, but I can't find anything for GPE, does anything exist? thanks Rich |

What machine are you using (and if it's a clamshell, what version of the kernel?)?

FYI the applets should work with the compat libs.
GPE has a screen off timeout afaik, but you need my version of bl from http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/Zaurus/bl/ Download the ipk file and extract the bl binary from it (as ipkg won't accept the arm5 arch) and stick that binary in /usr/bin. You can then issue 'bl off', 'bl on', 'bl x' where x is from 0-255. This will also allow the ipaq-sleep daemon to control the backlight settings. Si |

Si Lardman your binary does not work on a collie. You need to use the slbl program instead. Basic usage: slbl 0 (off) through to slbl 4 (very bright) It is part of the slutils console package for openzaurus. darmou |

What was the error message? Si |

someone built it for armv5 probably...
lardman: qtopia applets/inputmethods will not work even with sharp-compat-libs. |

QUOTE someone built it for armv5 probably... Indeed I did, but I'd heard that it ran okay on the collies. I'll build a new version for arm4 (or if you have OE you can do it yourself - build bl-0.0 (not cvs)) Si |
