Re: [iPAQ] LCD power consumption

Depends on how much demoing you did... The front light consumes
3 times the power of the base unit. If you did significant demoing,
6 hours sounds plausible, given that we've not completed the power
management work.

Also the screen saver was broken in v.15, and doesn't turn off the
video when it should.
