Hi Zeb, given your experience, could you possibly help me understand what the settings in the powermanagementprofilesrc file of my Manjaro based pinephone mean. I am trying to see the screen, but it dims quickly
Here are the settings.. and my questions beside them
[AC]
icon=battery-charging
[AC][DPMSControl] >> I presume this is the display power management signal
idleTime=60 >> What units are these
lockBeforeTurnOff=1 >> Exactly what does this mean.
[AC][DimDisplay]
idleTime=30000 >> So I have to presume this is the amount of time that it takes to dim the display, Again what units is this in
>> and do I have the correct interpretation
[AC][HandleButtonEvents] >>Looks like some event handler
lidAction=1 >> Hmm, I dont have a lid on this device
powerButtonAction=128 >> OK, what is this and how does this affect my device
powerDownAction=16 >> Same question here
[Battery][SuspendSession] >> This looks like the time it takes to suspend without any activity
idleTime=300000 >> Again, what units is this in
suspendThenHibernate=false >>> Exactly what is meant here ?
suspendType=32 >> Even more obscure
[LowBattery]
icon=battery-low
[LowBattery][BrightnessControl] >> I assume this controls the brightness when the battery is low
value=30 >> some ill-defined value since it is not referenced to anything
[LowBattery][DPMSControl] >> I am getting confused here
idleTime=30 >> Units ?
lockBeforeTurnOff=1 >> Seems it locks the screen before it turns DPMS on
[LowBattery][DimDisplay] >> How is this related to LowBattery Brightness control ?
idleTime=30000 >> Confusing units
[LowBattery][HandleButtonEvents] >> Got me here -difficult to interpret this
lidAction=1 >> What lid ?
powerButtonAction=128 >> Hmm, looks like 2**6 but what does it mean
powerDownAction=16 >> Another confusing paramter. What does it do ?
[LowBattery][SuspendSession] >> We already have battery suspend session above what is this ?
idleTime=300000
suspendType=1
Any help in deciphering this melange would be really appreciated, Coz, I cant see the bloody screen. Why oh why does Manjaro not have a screen brightness setting in the UI ??
