Anybody know how to do this on the Kindle 4 NT?

I thought I'd just edit /etc/powerd.conf, but no such luck. It isn't there on the Kindle 4 NT!
Fiddled a bit and found it (at least to increase the time until the screensaver comes up)

ssh as root, then
Code:
mntroot rw
afterwards
Code:
vi /etc/kdb.src/yoshi/system/daemon/powerd/t1_timeout
the last line indicates the number in seconds before the screensaver comes up
(it's set at 600 - so 10 min)
just change that to a number you prefer, following
Quote:
/etc/init.d/powerd restart
and that should do it
