While testing things on my remotely connected Kpw, it somehow managed to enter an "impossible" state:
USBnetworking ON - cable in - ssh session established with Kindle.
Prevent Screensavers - Enabled (home page showing).
Firewall with BBB filter enabled.
Airplane mode - Disabled - Wifi connection established.
Now that is my "Normal" (workday) setup for the Kpw - and since it is plugged into a "high power" (200ma) USB port - it can run like that approximately forever.
The charger cycles on and off, but the 200ma USB port can run it and keep the battery topped off at the same time.
Since I don't do any graphics with it - I have a tendency to ignore it. It just sits over there in its corner, doing whatever - - - -
I glanced over one day last week and the screen saver image was showing. WTF !!!
SSH session over USB was still up and working -
Wifi connection was still up and working -
But the processor has shifted to the "power saver" state (1/2 normal clock speed on a Kpw) and displayed the screensaver. Even though "prevent screensaver" was still enabled.
Looked the same-same as if it had gone into suspend-to-ram mode, but it was still very much alive and running under the screensaver.
Thinking it was broke - I kicked it out of that mode without taking the time to figure out how to transition to that mode intentionally.
Might be useful someday to learn how that state happened to be entered.
