Nope, the screen faded to black as expected.

New test and settings binaries.

• moved power button and device lock settings to their own pages
• power button double-tap support and actions for secure and normal mode
• lock and blank actions for the power button
• increased power button long press from 1 second to 1.5 seconds, to match MCE

This release changes the names for the power_action and secure_power_action keys so you'll have go change them back from defaults.

Double-tap support is enabled by default which causes a one second delay before the power button reacts to single-taps. If MCE doesn't have a double-tap action and you don't want ASUI to have one then you can disable support.

oh dear. installed the latest test, and on a lark enabled alarmd and rebooted. Now things blank on lock.

New test and settings binaries.

• ASUI reads longpress and double-tap delays from /etc/mce/mce.ini
• MCE settings page to configure values in /etc/mce/mce.ini

Now the double-tap delay can be tweaked so single-taps respond faster.

Maemo is like Windows, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

New test binary, should be the last before I release 0.5.8 in a couple days. Restores autolock/stayslit settings on restart and blanking pause failure.

Bold items are new since last test binary.

Those who haven't been installing test binaries will need to reconfigure their power button settings because the old keys have been renamed.

If you have problems with the screen not blanking try restarting alarmd and then restart mce. If that doesn't work, stop alarmd, restart mce and then start alarmd. Should fix the problem without a reboot.

Not sure why but the statusbar applet doesn't restart when upgrading so be sure to turn it off and back on again.

Bah, sadly i forgot to check the blanking issue before i updated because now it has returned. Thing is that my N800 had run out of battery earlier, and when i plugged in the charger it booted but then "screen fade" rebooted.

going to try rebooting with alarmd disabled, and then rebooting again with it enabled to see if that shakes something "loose".

Edit: Crap, booting with alarmd disabled had no effect this time. Could it be related to some kind of charging issue?

edit2: bah, no change when booting with charger unplugged.

edit3: shutting down, inserting charger, letting the tablet boot into charging mode, then booting to full desktop made blanking work again. Funny enough the tablet came up with screen locked. Also, alarmd was disabled during all this. Now to enable and reboot.

edit4: blanking works after rebooting with alarmd enabled. But the ASUI battery meter seems a bit confused. It is displaying a 94.5% battery level...

And what should it be displaying?

Something closer to 25-50 i suspect, as it is still charging.

gonna give mce a restart and see if that fixes anything.

Edit: heh, did that and was greeted with a "battery full" message...

I swear, this tablet have become haunted since i installed DT.

Bah, now rebooting with or without alarmd disabled makes no difference...

edit: hrmf, getting different behaviors each time i try something. No consistency what so ever...
