if i read this right, you're saying that you wouldn't want the display to stay colored with the backlight off? what's your reasoning? the screen is transflective whether in mono mode or not. > off the backlight is accomplished by using an fn-f2 on one box, an fn-f4, > on another and a special feature key on the last; but, who's looking for > standards? :-) > > I also have a another three of all the same devices with their factory > standard LCD screent.

My 2 cents. bear in mind that this really only kicks in when the surrounding light is bright enough that you literally can't tell whether the backlight is on or not. currently there's no way to disable it. that will change, but i'm not sure what form the UI might take. paul > > Cheers, > > KG > > > > paul > > > > [1] http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Display#The_theory > > =--------------------- > > paul fox, p...@laptop.org > > _______________________________________________ > > Sugar-devel mailing list > > sugar-de...@lists.sugarlabs.org > > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel > > =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
