Notes from the Montreal Linux Power Management Mini-SummitNotes from the Montreal Linux Power Management Mini-SummitPosted Aug 5, 2009 0:15 UTC (Wed) by foom (subscriber, #14868)In reply to: Notes from the Montreal Linux Power Management Mini-Summit by pimlottc Parent article: Notes from the Montreal Linux Power Management Mini-Summit The only reason I like backlight dimming is that it is less abrupt and disruptive than simply turning off the screen. So if I am actually reading the screen but not interacting, the dim is a more subtle signal to twiddle the mouse than the screen suddenly going blank. That said, I prefer the behavior Gnome has these days: when you leave it alone, it starts slowing fading to black over 10 seconds or so. That seems much better than having a drawn-out dimmed screen period.
