Gigabeat button lights

Mad Cow:

Does anybody have an idea as to why? I've noticed that the backlight turns off much less often now, it's around once in every 10 times, before it was almost every time.

vak01:
Gigabeat Rockbox Build r1323-070421 with 20070421 FWIMG01.DAT

Button Light Modes: any selection other than default cause backlight to extinguish.

Is there a better place to report these things? I ask because this issue is hardware specific and I do not know if the flyspray bug tracker system is designated to include hardware-specific issues.

Thanks

Llorean:
The button lights are in the "Debug" menu, which says you're not supposed to enter it.

They're not expected to work right yet, that's exactly the conflict with the LCD that I was talking about. You're basically not supposed to report bugs on things that aren't done.  They aren't finished, so they aren't "working", and often enough the problems are just that it's not finished yet.

And yes, the Flyspray system is set up to accept hardware specific bugs, when they're actually supposed to be reported.

I understand that they are NOT SUPPOSED to work. But I would like to offer helpful reports on this issue. Maybe simply saying that this function does not work on a specific build is not helpful to developers and I can understand that.

If it is most appropriate that I do not enter reports, I can continue to evaluate the function but not continue to waste bandwidth entering the results of those tests.

Thank you for your response.
