You can also add round values to the list of timeouts that 'display settings' shows in the drop down list!

gconftool-2 -t list --list-type=int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts [30,60,120,300,600,1800,3600]

gconftool-2 -t list --list-type=int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_blank_timeouts [30,60,120,300,600,1800,3600]
...

(edit) I did this as root user.
To make this work on my n800 I had to use single quotes (') like this:
gconftool-2 -t list --list-type=int -s '/system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts' '[30,60,120,300,600,1800,3600]'

Better install the gconf-editor for those sorts of hacks.

The quotes are a good idea as a rule of thumb.

For me, the extended timeouts are the real story; acmonitor is more of a fun toy. Having looked at the design (and the cpu load with 'top', i don't see how the 770 version could be sucking up battery).

To test if acmonitor affects battery life, you can set up a cronjob that appends current time to a text file every 10 minutes, then leave the unit on before you go to sleep and see how long it holds out with and without acmonitor.

I'll put a warning up on my page if we can confirm this effect.

Yeah, that's my concern too. I read about "acmonitor" in another thread. The first thing that came to mind was "How will it affect the battery life?" If running the "acmonitor" daemon significantly affects the battery life when the device is not plugged in, then I don't want to keep it running.

And the best part - your settings will be persistent after reboot!

(edit) I did this as root user.
To make this easier and better accessible for novice users, I've now created a simple installer that does this. Please check out moreDisplayOptions.

I'm sure your install file will come in very handy for many users. Thanks.
