Title: Stopping Z From Suspending / Sleeping
Post by: grog on May 04, 2006, 10:33:12 pm

Hey all. New boxer owner here, trying out this slick looking rom. I like what i see so far.

One (hopefully simple) question. When I'm playing tunes with xmms (or doing anything else on battery that doesn't require user input), is there an easy way I can prevent the unit from suspending?

thks

There is applet on "taskbar" of MatchBox (looks like monitor) - there you can disable suspend.

Unfortunately (not so simple) it doesn't work in some instances!

See this thread (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18622) for some options on how to get around it if you have problems...

Simple, set your suspend time to 999 seconds, need more?

Fortunately no problems for me & my boxer. Works like a charm . Interesting hacks in the thread though. I'll keep it on file in case I do run into issues.

What's the 'XMMS' selection on the blanker menu supposed to be for? Doesn't seem to do anything on or off.

Thanks for the help.

Yah, that's only a little over 16 minutes. Takes me almost an hour to walk to work .

The XMMS checkbox allows the hardwarekeys on the side to be mapped for XMMS playback control as far as i can recall

Doesn't seem to have any affect for me. too bad. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd love to be able to skip & pause without opening the unit. thks

For the record, spoke too soon . Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Haven't been able to figure out exactly how to recreate it either way. Checking out the other thread more closely. thks
