^ Thanks but that didn't work even though it didn't give me any errors.

I have the blank timeout set at 30 seconds.

After restarting mce and running this...
gconftool -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout \ `gconftool -g /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout` -t int

It doesn't reset. It blanks after 2 minutes now.

Should there be quotes or something in that command line?

You shouldn't place user programs in system directories. Use /root/bin or /home/user/bin instead. Also makes it easier to backup scripts and binaries you've written or downloaded and might be hard to find again.

Anything instead `` is executed and passed to the command as an argument, so you just `gconftool-2 -g /path/to/a/key` would be used in place of the static value.

If you scroll back to my second post you will see that I wrote a nice little function that automates this for you. You just have to pass it the key and type and it handles getting and setting.

@ jonww, that key is for the default brightness, he is using adv-backlight which has its own key.

I wasn't trying to be a punk. *lol*

I was simply pointing out that
/usr/bin/set-backlight `gconftool-2 --get /apps/adv-backlight/brightness`
and not
/FULL/PATH/set-brightness `gconftool-2 --get /apps/adv-backlight/brightness`
the way you wrote it was correct.

Anyway, I'll look over your post one more time and see if I can't get your other junk to work as well.

Cheers buddy.

Sorry.

What am I doing wrong here?

Does it produce an error? Does it not restore the settings?

It appears that there is no error to anything you wrote.

Everything seems to go back to their original settings (brightness, brightness period).

The one that doesn't restore is the switch off display timer.

Other than that, it looks like I'm all good.

Look at turn_off_display and brightness_period in /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display.

Are you referring to
/usr/share/osso-applet-display/RX-34.schemas ?

That's all I'm really finding that's close to what you wrote.

The gconf keys /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/turn_off_display and /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/brightness_period, add restore_value lines for them and see if that works.
