Command to turn on the screen led (Maemo N810)

Hi all,

I am just wondering if it is possible to use a command (most probably dbus
or something) to tell the screen to light up once it has turned off. I know
it can be turned on by a simple tap, but I need to automate this when the
device has received some notifications.

Also, if it's not too much to ask, is it possible to disable software
updates notification at the status bar?


Cheers,

Hiya,

You're looking for this function:
http://maemo.org/api_refs/4.0/libosso/group__Devstate.html#g93fe32aeb992e128c94b890d6f801bfd

libosso's source is available, too, so if you don't like using it and
would prefer to see the D-Bus behind it...

Best Regards,
Faheem

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce
/com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change
string:"unlocked"

I logged into my tablet (N800) via ssh, while it had the backlight off, and tried the command above, but my tablet keeps the backlight off...
I'm also looking for the exact same thing: a command line that can make change the screen brightness...
any help is welcome.
thanks.
