That's a very interesting idea.  Maybe I should throw a version of OHM
that does this into Joyride to see how it goes.

It's already tunable on the XO, in /etc/ohm/plugins.d/timeouts.ini.
Run "service ohmd restart" after modifying.

Please don't just change your personal timeouts, though -- I'd like to
find out what the best defaults are.  The timeouts aren't locked into
place for Update.1; if we find that going from 30->60 seconds before
suspend makes people happier, I'll change it.

- Chris.

This is ohm suspending the laptop after 20 seconds of inactivity,
and network traffic waking it up shortly after.

I guess we could "fix" it by not undimming the display if
we wake up just because of network activity?

There's no (easy) way to tell whether your AC has an
infinite amount of cheap energy or of your grandpa is
cranking to keep the laptop going.

I also find it annoying, and I guess we could make the idle
timeout tunable somehow.  For now, you can "tune" it by
killing ohm.

Battery charging and display intensity in joyride-1594

2008-01-28 Thread Mark Bauer

G1G1 program (thanks guys)
upgraded to joyride-1594
firmware Q2D10

Plugged in after about 2 hours of use  just sitting there on the  
sugar screen
that shows what apps are running.  Battery shows not charging (it did  
when I first
plugged it in).  Putting mouse over battery symbol, and it is says  
battery fully charged.

But the charge light is still amber,  It used to go back to green (or  
yellow).

Second issue..  Not touching the system, the display intensity keeps  
jumping up and down.
I am still on AC, no need to dim the display,  it is just a bit  
annoying.

Thanks for the good work.

Mark
