Ok both the mistral (770) and bora (800) versions of derf's ac monitor daemon are ready for release.

I modified the 770 version to compile without the libconic routines missing from IT2006.

You can grab them from my projects page.

Cheers

run 'ps ax|grep acmonitor' from xterm. It should already be running. Acording to the website you now adjust timings both on and off ac power and it will remember them.

It seems to work ok.. although I'm a bit worried about what the webpage said about "The 800 version also helps keep your network connection alive". I don't need any such help, it stays alive perfectly well.. I don't know what it does but if it's e.g. activating the network now and then as a 'keep alive' then it'll be a battery drag. We'll see I guess.

The other thing is that as there is no option in the control panel to extend the display-on time to more than 5 minutes there still isn't a way AFAIK to get it to keep the display always-on in AC mode. Even my Palm T3 can do that, out of the box!

This could be a very handy tool. I installed from file however, I can’t get it to work either. The display settings still cap-out at 2 and 5 minutes for dim and off respectively. Does it only work if you run 'ps ax|grep acmonitor' from xterm? I am not comfortable taking that route. Is there another fix? Thanks in advance.
