> what do you think? 'a' or 'b'? As long as the possibility exists to manually edit a configuration file, I myself will change the sleep behavior to be like 'before'.
I do not care whether it takes a keystroke, or pushing the CPU button, to wake from 'sleeping' -- I'll learn through experience. However, I do not favor using the keypad for wake-up. All too often, my wrists stray onto the keypad - and having the system wake up from inadvertent hand placement might be a distraction. Something I can NOT get used to is the current very short time before suspend. I normally use an external keyboard, and lately the XO has even dropped USB power (i.e., stopped accepting keystrokes) before I could finish typing in the __name__ that a new installation asks for. I have to cudgel my brain to remember, at installation time, to get as quickly as possible into "My Settings" and deactivate suspend -- else the XO is sure to unexpectedly suspend while I am trying to apply my usual customizations (including suspend timing changes) to a new build. Regarding wake-up from a dimmed/blank screen -- likely the "normal" user behavior is always to press <shift>. If no screen reaction is seen, say within a second, the user will then probably push on the power button. [If the screen is not dimmed, the user would probably not realize whether the CPU is asleep or not (i.e., he would NOT be paying attention to any LED behaviors) -- and would continue typing, in the expectation that all of his input characters would be used.] I do have to mention one caveat -- at least once, when an XO dropped USB power on me *while* I was trying to enter customization commands, and my finger slipped on the power button -- the XO apparently thought I had "double pushed" (once to request it to show the "suspend choice" panel, and immediately again to indicate "shutdown") -- and it powered down completely. Please - make sure that it takes a multi-second duration of the power button to perform a *complete* shutdown. mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
