That's because this isn't the correct method... Try: dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.req_display_blanking_pause instead (every 30s should be enough). An (undocumented) alternative is: gconftool -s --type int /system/osso/dsm/display/inhibit_blank_mode 3 Replace the 3 for whatever inhibit mode you want: 0 -- No display blanking inhibit 1 -- Inhibit dimming/blanking if charger is connected 2 -- Allow dimming, but inhibit blanking if charger is connected 3 -- Inhibit dimming/blanking 4 -- Allow dimming, but inhibit blanking Regards: David _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
