Title: Blanking Screen Instead Of Dimming
Post by: mbaush on March 02, 2006, 10:28:46 am

Hello, Is there a way to blank (turn off backlight) instead of dimming to lowest backlight level after a few seconds of IDLE?

I know it can go in suspend mode, but I want to still be able to copy files, telnet and so on while the screen is turned off (save power)

There's a few settings in Settings/qpe.conf that might do the trick, but I don't know..

Thanks!

just close the lid and the screen should turn off automatically.

which machine do you have?  On the newer clamshells there is a setting in the second tab of light and power to suspend on lid closure.  Just uncheck that.

I'm using a SL-C3000, and I was aware of the lid setting, but I would like it to act like a screen saver, where it would blank after a few seconds, and lit again when I press on a key..

Perhaps it's not possible
