</div>I mean the current weston code doesn't know the state anymore. Sure<br>
that can be fixed, but I think it should be another patch.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Oh yes, to be totally clear, that was really just an aside. It might be the correct way to solve the problem if the LEDs get clobbered on VT switches though, mind. ;)</div>

</div>I agree the timer is ugly, but I have other priorities at the moment<br>
honestly, so I'm not going to spend big amount of time on this, at<br>
least yet. I'm fine with leaving this one be and getting only the<br>
other two in.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No problem. We can come back to it later. Thanks for dealing with all my bikeshedding!</div><div><br></div><div>-d </div></div></div></div>
