Screen off

Senacharim
Hi!
  I'm a little new to embedded Linux, but not to general microprocessor
development.

Anyhow, the project I'm developing for will be battery driven, and to save
on power I'd like to power off the display & backlight on the screen (while
monitoring for touch).  Is this possible with the mini2440 or would I need
to do something extra/extraordinary?

Any helpful feedback appreciated, thanks in advance.

The dev board has this capability.

With the PTXdist mini2440 BSP this is built-in.  For other kernels you may
have to dig into kernel config.

At least you could look at their patch and try applying it to your own
kernel.

Good luck!

Excellent!

Thank you.  As long as I know it's possible, the rest will fall into place.

It just becomes a matter of determining how it is achieved (CPU pin-wise)
and making it happen.

Once again, thank you.
