Would anyone here familiar with the Yeelong's physical LCD display advise on using it as an ereader?
What I mean by this is reading text on the screen exclusively for nearly everything that would be viewed for a prolonged time period such as a novel, or series of them, as opposed to paper. The major issue is eye-fatigue and comfort. I'm not sure if the video driver(when working) or ACPI will let it dim the display(or if that will have any bearing on this). I saw some xorg.conf files that show options for running it at 1024x...@75hz, IIRC. All TFT LCDs I've come across tell me they're going at 60hz. There are two things that lead me to ask this: 1) It would be ideal to only have to deal with mostly one screen in life - no cellphone, no television, etc, just the computer. 2) Books can be tracked and seen by others. Library checkouts, or buying from a store without using just cash anonymously will link the materials to you. Even if you do manage to put on a disguise to avoid identification and pay in real money, you're not always guaranteed to get the text you needed. Then of course you have physical evidence of possessing the book -- this can be avoided with disk encryption on a computer where you can safely and securely obtain the text. But all this would be silly if I get a crippling headache after a couple hours of intensive staring at the screen. Any advice from heavy users of the machine? -- end _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
