[ Phil did some measurements already... ] How about this: Lid closes => Dimm screen. Wait # minutes (in case user is just carrying the computer down the hall). After # minutes => Suspend. Some checking "battery vs. power-supply" and "temperature" could be added, and then we'd be able to do the right thing[tm] in all of the following situations: 1) User goes out for lunch, closes lid and lets Eee-PC plugged in. => Screen dimms, no suspend (or only after # minutes). 2) User closes the lid, unplugs the power supply, takes Eee-PC and walks from desk to conference room. => Screen gets dimmed, but the Eee-PC is still on and active (wireless and all) when lid is opened and the meeting starts. 3) User unplugs power, closes lid, stuffs Eee-PC in case, stuffs case in backpack, hops on bike and rides to the other side of town. => Screen dimms. After # minutes and/or when temperature $toohot is reached, the Eee-PC suspends. After #+ minutes or when temperature $muchtoohot is reached or when battery level is $toolow, Eee-PC hibernates and/or shuts down. Wouldn't that be neat? I agree that that's all not necessarily only Eee specfic though... :) Robert _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
