 On an XO-1.5, capable of suspending and running the latest software, the
 fact that the screen dims before the laptop suspends is very annoying.
 If aggressive suspend/resume is enabled, I expect the laptop to suspend
 frequently without disturbing my reading.  With the current ohmd
 configuration, the screen flashes back and forth.

 The fix for me is to change the display.value_idle parameter in
 /etc/ohm/plugins.d/display.ini from 6 to 30.

 I'm told that we are moving away from powerd, so this ticket may simply be
 a historical note and feature request for powerd.
