"On a related note
I noticed that the behavior of the power button on an unmodified IOpener works as follows. A single push will turn the display off and may put the machine in a sleep or suspend mode."
Actually, when you press the power button on an unmodified I-opener, the following things happen:
* The display turns off
* The power LED turns off
* (maybe) the I-opener returns to its main screen
And when you press it again,
* The display turns on
* The power LED turns on
* (maybe) the I-opener returns to its main screen
I don't know at which point the I-opener returns to its main screen, but it does do so at one of the above two.
I do not believe the I-opener actually goes into suspend mode. Try the following:
1. Position the mouse cursor in a corner of the screen.
2. Hit the power button so it "turns off"
3. Use whatever pointing device you're using to move the cursor away from the aforementioned corner.
4. Hit the power button.
5. Notice that the cursor has responded to your input, moving out of the corner, thus revealing that the machine was NOT suspended.
There's also the entire thing about dialing in to check email automatically, whatnot.
So I would very much like to know how to programatically switch power to the display and the power button LED.
Ideas?
(I'm not creating a new thread here, being a reference area and all, but will do so in the Technical forum. Happy hacking!)
