Re: n900 Camera red light - ways to disable?

ok..and i restore the original file?

Re: n900 Camera red light - ways to disable?

a better fix will be in KP50, it was descussed on the forum a month ago

Re: n900 Camera red light - ways to disable?

right.of course stable kp49 has just been released and we are probably months from a stable kp50...this tweak seems really nice...but i cannot get it to work 100%..always have to write the code on every reboot still..

Drop the new adp1653.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.28-power49/ and add this to /etc/event.d/

Code:

start on started hildon-desktop



script

echo 1 >/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0030/disable_indicator_led

end script

He already gave you instructions, reread the previous post. Btw, you'll probably need clues about how to use the vi editor, use google or use another text editor.
This is somewhat advanced stuff and it is assumed you know the system basics (just basic linux stuff), go ahead under your own responsability.
In other thread you said you already broke your system because you didn't know what you were doing, didn't you? I strongly suggest you do your homework and learn the basics before asking, there are tons of documentation on linux for newbyes, google it.
If you are unwilling to learn such stuff, I suggest you keep disabling the light on each reboot, or wait till someone puts it in a more user friendly way (a GUI or whatever).
