[FSO 5.1] Preventing screen blanking

[Johny Tenfinger]

Oh, i forgot. If webarchive isn't useful, let's work on it! Saying
only RTFM is wrong, but for me being "nice" regardless of situation is
wrong too. Why now we are loosing our time on this topic? Because of
unnecessary question we can't work on for example opimd integration at
the moment. I know, that doesn't make any sense ;D But it's some kind
of waste time. Our time and asker's time, because we are repeating,
and he isn't learning anything. Finding informations is very usefull
ability, not only in Openmoko world :)
