The N800 had this with lock screen and keys when screen time out was not activated. I would find this usefull. Will have a look at giving it a go my self.

You can have something like this:
* Install my Simple Brightness Applet and use the "Keep Display On" feature; and
* Run "echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/omap2_mcspi.1/spi1.0/disable_ts" to disable the touch screen. 0, obviously, re-enables it. (The keyboard is still enabled when doing this)
Not as nice as the power button thing, admittedly...
BTW: Your English is fine.

I may look into it but one thing does spring to mind: How to disable it? I mean, with the touchscreen disabled, trying to hit the button is gonna be fun. Maybe detecting if the lock slider has been slid would be a possible answer to that question.

Several times when using the OVI Maps and GPS walking or driving I find it very annoying when I touch the display unintentionally and I have to adjust things back to where it was. I do also walk using OVI Maps and GPS and want to be able to have the N900 active in my pocket screen ON without the worry for the screen to be touched /activated by other pocket objects or my fingers reaching for the N900.
So the tool/utility should be something like this.
Another option on the "Power dropdown menu" maybe called "Screen ON NO Input"
Activating this should deactivate screen input and keep the screen ON until deactivated again.
Of course an incoming call should make the N900 respond as normal.
English is as you can see not my native language so I am also interested in those of you that think you know what I mean and could help describing this better.
