There is a KUAL.button for that purpose, the: copy dmesg -> document button.
Will running 'dmesg|more' under kterm do the same thing?
I tried.. there's a LOT of info.. which are the lines which tell the state it's restarting from?

The way the button does it (you can just read the script if you want):

1) dmesg -c > tempfile -> rename tempfile to date/time titled document.
(The '-c' clears the message buffer after outputting it.)

I.E:
press button before desired action dump
press button after desired action

The second document (later date/timestamp) will have only the messages *after* the first document.

That is: You could (later) cat the two together if you wanted both in one document file.

I did it that way because the most common use case is to capture only the things before/after a specific **something**.

Just to summarise.. we have 3 inactive states:

1. Screen Saver (short press) -- able to resume immediately
2. Blank Screen (long press) -- able to resume immediately
3. Truly off (what is achieved here by issuing the 'halt' command) -- able to resume only by going through the restart process

Other than the screen saver's presence/absence, is there any other difference between states 1 and 2?

Probably 2 goes to suspend directly (t2, for those familiar with powerd).

(Haven't checked, so you're welcome to contradict me ).

There is also a "lightfix" patch available: https://github.com/ClusterM/kindle-lightfix

Light switches off sometime after setting brightness to lowest level..

Is this "mobileread certified"? :-)

Yup. You can also find it in the author's posts here.

That one makes very in-efficient use of cron, I suggest that you try the front-light KUAL button.

You can find a discussion here on controlling the frontlight of the paperwhite.

Oops.. Sorry..
Forgot about the "FrontLight" Kual button/app.. which i've already installed..
As you say, that does do a more efficient and comprehensive job of controlling the front light..
Not able to properly keep track of all patches/hacks/apps/kual buttons installed.. :-)
