Oz 3.5.4 Not Blanking Lcd
« on: October 16, 2006, 12:40:01 pm »
Is there any word on a work-around for the "Deactivate LCD" option in light&power settings?  I'm running an SL5500 and cannot seem to find any follow-up on this issue (it was mentioned by someone on openzaurus.org on the page announcing the initial release of 3.5.4).

Could you re-iterate the problem for my benefit please?

If it's a bug, is it in the bugtracker?

Certainly...  I did a complete flash of OZ 3.5.4 using the 64/0 boot.  For test purposes, my configuration under Light & Power (both battery and AC) is dim after 10, light off after 20, and suspend after 30, and I have checked the box to deactivate the LCD rather than suspend.

What I am repeatedly seeing happen is that the light will dim after 10 seconds, go off after 30 seconds, and the LCD never turns off and the Z never suspends.  Testing, this appears to be the same sequence regardless of if the "Deactivate LCD" box is checked or not.  I have also set the timeouts at higher numbers (up to 120/300/300) and again see the same type of results.

It's been a couple years since I played with OZ/Opie, however it seems to me there was a similar issue under 3.5.2 which was caused by an incorrect APM setting?  I can't seem to find a reference to it here on the board, so I really can't say for sure, but I think I'll check through the backups I have from 3.5.2 and see if I can find any changes I may have made.

I can confirm this for my collie.  But since forums are not bugtrackers, I advice Shdwdrgn to go to http://bugs.openembedded.org instead.

BTW, the initial settings of 20-30-60 do seem to work.
