dimming iBook != sleep
Authored by: jub on Apr 29, '02 05:52:10PM

i've dimmed my summer 2001 (dual USB) iBook many times in OS9 and 10.0.3->10.1.4, and it never goes to sleep, the screen is just black (the backlight is turned off).

maybe this is something only with earlier iBooks?

Nope. I've got an original iBook (tangerine) and the lowest setting using the brightness key turns off the screen (well actually it doesn't turn it off completely - it's black, but if you look real close you can still see stuff).

I seem to remember that under OS 9 it didn't do this - turning the brightness down to the lowest just lowered the brightness to the lowest value.
