Hello, on a Linux system (with ACPI) it is possible to invoke a suspend through
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state (see http://ols.fedoraproject.org/OLS/Reprints-2008/brown-reprint.pdf (chapter 5, 6th page 42); http://www.linux.com/articles/54610, http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html, http://www.columbia.edu/~ariel/acpi/acpi_howto.txt (section 23.2), http://www.linux-magazin.de/heft_abo/ausgaben/2004/02/einschlaf_hilfen/(offset)/2 (german),...) Qt Extended on the Neo Freerunner (http://moko.mwester.net/download/uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin + http://other.lastnetwork.net/OpenMoko/qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-release-working-with-SystemRingTones.jffs2) seems to be APM based (/sys/power/state is also present and `echo mem > /sys/power/state` works) and `cat /proc/apm` shows some information. Working on a console (if you have one, which is not default for QtExtended), section 12.18.8.1.1 of http://www.uibk.ac.at/linuxdoc/LDP/LDP/Mobile-Guide/html/mobile-guide-p2c1s8-apm.html shows a nice way to keep an eye on the battery state through the command prompt: export PS1="\$(cat /proc/apm | awk '{print \$7}') \h:\w\$ " Invoking a suspend on a APM based systems can be done with apm -s I noticed /etc/apm/suspend.d/gsm_suspend, which executes echo "1" >/sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/flowcontrolled Is this also needed for a proper suspend? (It seems to work without that.) In contrast to the information about e.g. how to turn on/off LEDs (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner/Buttons_and_LEDs) I didn't find this in the OpenMoko Wiki. Maybe because OpenMoko offers the "Ompower" Power management daemon: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Ompower This service seems not to be available for QtExtended: r...@om-gta02:~# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.openmoko.Power / org.openmoko.Power.Core.ListResources Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.openmoko.Power was not provided by any .service files which is not astonishing since "ompower is a suspend handling daemon talking dbus installed by default since Om 2008.8" but apparently not by QtExtended (and /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ is empty). QtExtended offers (formerly QCop and now Qtopia IPC based) services (http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/services.html), which include a pre-defined suspend service (http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/suspendservice.html) (also cmp. /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/services) The qcop command-line tool (http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/qcop-tool.html) should also be capable to do the job: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/lib export PATH=/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin:$PATH qcop service send Suspend 'suspend()' There might be more ways to do a suspend... What is the proper way to suspend the Freerunner for QtExtended? (Probably the last one. But is there more to be done?) The next question will be how to configure the lock icon (padlock.png for finxi) on the home screen (the rightmost icon on the bottom) to be connected with the suspend command/service... (instead of Screen Lock) Thanks, Martin Bernreuther -- Martin Bernreuther martinb...@web.de _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
