Re: R: Can't force display light to stay on forever?
Ah yes, there is a binding in python. I was using display_state_on instead of display_blanking_pause, that was my problem. thanks, owen On Fri, 2008-10-03 at 16:23 +0200, Frantisek Dufka wrote: > Owen Williams wrote: > > Is there a good way of doing this temporarily, for instance while > > playing back video?

Re: R: Can't force display light to stay on forever?
Is there a good way of doing this temporarily, for instance while playing back video? Can I do it in python? Right now I'm telling the backlight to turn on every 8 seconds or so, but even that doesn't really work (sometimes the display goes dim and then pops back). I don't want to temporarily change any configuration files in case my program crashes before it can unset this option. Owen On Thu, 2008-10-02 at 16:25 +0200, Marco Solari wrote: > Thanks!

Thanks! It worked like a charm ;-) Now the limit is 480 minutes (8 hours), which I suppose is quite a long time... ;-) Cheers.
