Screen doesn't dim in 2008.8 release

[Steven **]

Maybe not the best route, but the settings app has this option.  To get it, do:
opkg install illume-config

This does other stuff (something with a keyboard toggle, I believe),
but also adds a small wrench in the top left.  Clicking that will
launch the config app.  The setting you want is under Power.
