I added this to the driver work I'm doing except (frames rates are much better now too :) it turns off the backlight just before chip reset (screen whites out during reset) and then back on afterward IF it was on at the time. The LCD driver now always turns on the BL after the reset in a bootloader build. I tried what you did but decided not to reference __backlight_X() in main.c since it must be delt with in lcd-x5.c anyway! :)

I should also mention that I've gotten that repeated BL blinking thing you were talking about and it appears related to when you plug/unplug the unit after a powerdown (timing is everything). It happened once after a OF flash when I unplugged after it went back to charge mode.

Actually more specifically I decided to keep it out of main() so that it works without a bootloader update.

And I can fix the backlight flash during poweroff when the LCD chip is OFF (just did it). Yes, I dare play with the pcf50606! No "almost brick" yet, thank goodness. :D

Never mind. I get too excited and ahead of myself when I ~think~ something is working! I am dumb! I swear if it's possible I'll lick it.
