Hi,
that entry enables/disables _the_ power saving feature of 770, which is,
surprise, surprise, sleeping while idle, meaning that it is not
suspend-based.
Therefore you don't have to do anything with /sys/power/state.
Btw, have you tried tapping on the screen when it "switches itself off"?
And if that doesn't help, do you get any low battery message?
Cheers,
