Even my 7 year old Pocket PC has the ability to turn this feature off in s/w, I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible somewhere, or at least could be made possible.

gconftool-2 --type "list" --list-type "int" --set "/system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts" "[10,30,60,120,300,600,1200,1800,3600,86400]"
gconftool-2 --type "list" --list-type "int" --set "/system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_blank_timeouts" "[10,30,60,120,300,600,1200,1800,3600,86400]"
I added these to my startup and choose in control panel from up to 24hours or 1440 minutes
Should work on n810

Wow! that's great, I hate the timeout options!
Two things:
1) I don't think that helps the OP, he's talking about the ambient lighting sensor. I think a little sticker would look better than tape over the light sensor.
2) Could you expound a little for the newbs? Where is the startup file? Do you need an editor or will 'notepad' work? I'll add it to wiki if I can figure it out.
Also, he might be able to find it if he looks around in the startup file.

actually , if you go to maemo.org and look under os2007 software , search for "moredimmingoptions" , a guy wrote a script that you install that does all that code for you so you dont even have to go into exterm , just install moredimmingoptions and you are good to go. however , that still doesnt affect the autobrightness. i too would like a way to have the brightness set where I , i repeat, IIIIIII want it. would also like to be able to set that the key backlighting stays on whenever the keyboard is out. hate when im typing in the dark , stop for a minute then have to fumble around to get the backlight to turn back on.

A brief aside, what genius decided to put the ambient light sensor right where most people cradle the device with their thumb while holding it?
