Enable ambient and idle-dim in g-s-d power #140

Closed worldofpeace closed 4 years ago

worldofpeace commented 4 years ago

These are just powersettings that are defaults in g-s-d that appear to be completely sane.

I'm not sure how much power is saved by dimming during the idle period, but I do know several mobile os's have the feature built-in.

Hmm, it appears that Pantheon manages dpms defaults entirely separate from g-s-d https://github.com/elementary/os-patches/commit/af897c5788231d4f76dd2f00aaaa533905109e0e. So idle-dim is a completely separate thing, which will probably require some sort of option in the power switchboard plug.

I'm going to close this, as I expect the non-response is just because it's not a great proposal.

Can you reopen this? I'd like to add it to the 6.0 milestone and make sure it gets discussed for the next release :)

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I need to narrow the scope of some of my contributions. The patch is still available at https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/elementary/default-settings/pull/140.patch. All other open patches I'm still pursuing though. Anyways, thanks @danrabbit @cassidyjames for your clear communications. I do appreciate them.
