Re: Disable the lock switch?
 

Cheers Mike
I never thought of that. My switch has worn flat, to the point I have to use the power button. This maybe a good solution to repair.

if that doesnt work for you you could try using an abs plastic like lego cut it into little shavings with a razor, then mix it with acetone. Make a thick paste out of it and put a couple of drops to make a finger hold.

It worked with emacs thanks. I won't use this but I was curious just to make it work.

Re: Disable the lock switch?
 

Try my soft lock screen method

The tklock the attached *. / usr/desktop kao to share/applications/hildon /

Attachment 24451

Again the *. / usr/copy PNG to share/ICONS/hicolor / 48 x48 / hildon /

试试我的软锁屏方法
把tklock 附件中的 *.desktop 拷到 /usr/share/applications/hildon/

再把*.PNG 拷贝到 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/

Re: Disable the lock switch?
 

My keyboard lock switch developed a fault which caused the screen to randomly turn on and off, sometimes in quick succession, making the phone almost unusable. This disables the lock switch until the next reboot:

Open a terminal
Gain root access (sudo/su/whatever)
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/kb_lock/disable

I'd be interested to know of a way to do this every time the phone boots up. Tried a script in /etc/init.d and ran update-rc.d to activate it in rc2.d but no joy...

Re: Disable the lock switch?
 

Try doing this from event.d once hildon-desktop is loaded, so create a file such as:

/etc/event.d/disablelockscreen:

start on started hildon-desktop

console output
script
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/kb_lock/disable
end script

@chrisgreen,

Just put your script on /etc/event.d with:

start on started hildon-desktop
script
...
end script

That's at least how I do my swap-on-sd, mount-extra-partition, tune-kernel-parameters, etc (all in a single script, for easy maintainability..)

Add.: @magic777, that was quick :)
