Git the latest driver form http://moblin.org/repos/projects/psb-kmd.git and recompile it with the command " make drm.o psb.o". Copy the resulting binaries drm.ko and psb.ko to /lib/modules/<kernel_name>/kernel/drivers/char/drm and do a "depmod -a <kenrel_name>". Reboot the system and the blinking issue should have gone. Nithish Mahalingam P.S. To get all of the above (compilation etc) going on the same kernel (which blinks upon boot-up), try - 1. Booting it in a single user mode (as Alan suggested in his previous mail) and edit the file etc/X11/xorg-crownbeach.conf, search for the text "psb" and replace the same with "vesa". Though the display won't be very good you still would be able to boot the kernel and so all the GIT and compilation for psb and drm drivers. Remember to change back vesa to psb in etc/X11/xorg-crownbeach.conf before rebooting the system after compiling and executing depmod. 2. Keep holding Alt+F1 key for 30 sec or so and the blinking may stop... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Johnson, Erik J Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 10:44 PM To: Pierre Bouffard; [email protected] Subject: [Moblin Dev] RE: LCD is blinking I had this same problem after I created my own version of the moblin kernel. The problem was that X was trying to start and the Poulsbo driver was not properly loading. X would then fail and restart, over and over again. The solution for me was to recompile (or perhaps for you just find) the psb.ko and corresponding drm.ko being used by X. If you look at the X logs somewhere under /etc/ you might see the failure. erik -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pierre Bouffard Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 9:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Moblin Dev] LCD is blinking Upon startup, when I get to the ume login screen my LCD display blinks about once every second. The terminal does not accept keyboard input when the screen is black. It's kind of annoying when you're trying to enter a username and password to type one letter every second in sync with the blinking. Is there a fix for this?
