I did say, "...and it wouldn't hurt to document it". Kernel side of some of it is documented in the page I started for the /sys stuff http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_sysfs ...otherwise most of the other points are out of scope for me. > It would also be nice to outline why that was chosen, to preempt > re-discussion of the same things that might otherwise occur.

AIUI Mickey Lauer has his eye on defining a bunch of this and related stuff in a more formal way, I think it can answer this reasonable request for some docs. > I have nothing against the use of the defconfigs in the git repo, except: > > $ grep APM_POWER def* > defconfig-2.6.24:CONFIG_APM_POWER=y > defconfig-2.6.24-maxmodules:# CONFIG_APM_POWER is not set > defconfig-gta01:# CONFIG_APM_POWER is not set > defconfig-gta02:CONFIG_APM_POWER=y > $ > > So which is the right way? :-( We seem to be about to throw out APM Emulation, so I guess not having it will be the right way shortly and solve this inconsistency. I also imagine GTA01 getting along fine without it until now means it ain't that needed... - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjlROwACgkQOjLpvpq7dMovIACfTSFea3NWtNoAUZOfvcJXFjh8 RKwAn1sXSoq8KYf92O7EA2fKeN/HppkL =fbow -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
