Keep display light on
 
Hi!
How can I disable and enable the display light dimmer in a C application? I want to keep the light on, while the application is
running.
Is there also a dbus call o do this via script?

I got just the thing. Follow me ok?
Search for: Simple Brightness App.
Install.
Done.

There is no direct way to do this.
The simple brightness applet sets up a timer and calls
osso_display_state_on (plugin->priv->osso_context)
every 50 seconds.

don't know what you are looking for but you can look at the code in my custom brightness, can be something you can use.

As posted by David Weinehall on maemo-dev mailing list, execute this dbus command every 30 seconds from your program:

Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.req_display_blanking_pause

Maybe I should look at some games, that don't let turn the light off.
