lk8000 1.16a on HP314. During startup of LK8000, I get the messsage:
No backlight control.
After startup, and a few seconds, LK8000 switches to low a lower brightnes level. I want continue a high brightnes for more readability.
Do I have to maintain backtlight myself, beefore starting LK8000,
or will be there backlight control in lk8000? |

| There is automatic backlight control in LK8000, certainly on my 314. You don't say if you are connected to external power. Mine stays bright on external power, but not on internal battery. Full brightness will come back for about 1 min when you touch the screen. |

Paolo made this recommendation on the LK8000 main page:
quote:
HOW TO SET BACKLIGHT ON HP310/314
This procedure set correctly the backlight timeout on Ipaq 310/314.
From Windows CE desktop, Start -> Settings -> Control Panel:
* Open "Backlight Control" and set High backlight (max)
* You don't need to change timeouts in the two upper boxes,
* because those values are controlled by "Display Properties".
* Exit "Backlight Control".
* Open "Power Properties".
* Powerscheme: AC Power
* set to "Never" all controls.
* Exit "Power Properties".
* Open "Display Properties"
* Select "Backlight" tag
* Select "Automatically turn off backlight while on external power", and
* set it to 30 minutes, then exit with Ok.
* Open again "Display Properties"
* Select "Backlight" tag
* DESELECT "Automatically turn off backlight while on external power".
* Exit with Ok.
* Open "Backlight control" again, you will see that "AC power and device is idle for"
* box is now EMPTY, correctly. Don't do anything . Press Ok.
There will be no more timeout in Backlight now.

Yes, I did that at the time, but he goes on to say:
"Please note that XCSoar users starting with version 5.2.3Fb2.2 have automatic backlight management".
As far as I know this has continued in all subsequent versions. I always get a message on startup that auto backlight is on, but still subject to what I said in previous posting.

Read the help for backlight on the 314.
With external power, you get full backlight.
With no external power you get a dimmed environment . Otherwise, set it to disabled and use the manual settings as explained by dave. |
