I think it is D- and it is broken, so yes, the only option is to
replace the socket it seems...

Yes, it may still work, but 900 is better for outside North America, 
including Europe.

 really
 not shure.. and are you able to send them to switzerland?

Probably.  It would be the first time I have physically mailed anything 
to Switzerland! :)

 Hello FreeRunners,
 
 I just bought the following for 150 USD + UPS Ground shipping to 
 Washington from SDG Systems in Pennsylvania:
 
 * 5x GTA02A6 (4 GSM 850, 1 GSM 900) with buzzfix
 * 5x earphones
 * 5x travel cases
 * 5x batteries
 * 2x or 3x chargers
 
 No MicroSD cards, though, but those are cheap.
 
 The catch?  The FreeRunners were returned by customers because the 
 microphones do not work.  I still think 30 USD each for handheld 
 (Debian) Linux computers is an excellent deal, though:  how else can I 
 buy a handheld Linux computer with so much functionality for only 30 
 USD?  I can still try using a wired or wireless (Bluetooth) headset 
 instead of the handset too.

Free, as in beer, Freerunner

2010-03-05 Thread Ken Young
   I have two buzz-fixed Freerunners, and I really can't figure out
any reason why I need two.   Somebody else should be having fun with
one of them.   I'm gonna give one away.If you want it,
there are two ways to get it:

Method one:   Tell me the colloquial meaning of the Persian phrase
Sendeh roo shamsheer, when applied to a person.   I don't mean the
literal translation into English - that's Turd on a sword.   I
want the idiomatic meaning.   A friend of mine says is is a common
expression in Persian.

Method two:   Send me a standalone program that can be compiled with
the Openmoko cross compiler tool chain, which will use pango and cairo
to print (in an X11 window on my Freerunner) a text string, provided by
the user, rotated by an arbitrary angle, also provided by the user.   The
text must be antialiased.

If you want the free Freerunner, complete one of the above tasks,
and send the info to orrery.m...@gmail.com.   Be sure to send the
address to which you want the phone to be shipped.   I'll pay for shipping.
I will send the buzz-fixed Freerunner, and a battery.   No uSD.
No sock.   No stylus.

Sorry, I've only got one extra, so whoever completes one of the above tasks
first gets the phone.

  Hi,
  
  I finally found the time to package up my current state of things which
  works ok here at least for GTA02. Kernel + Qi can be downloaded from:
  
   http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/qi-bootmenu/
  
  It would be nice if the various distros out there could place their
  kernels in /boot/uImage-$MACHINE.bin where $MACHINE is either GTA01
  or GTA02. This makes sure that they will be detected by qi-bootmenu.
  You can optionally also place a logo in /boot/bootlogo.png which
  will be displayed along the partition name.
 
 I found it nice but i sugest that it search for other images names  tipes 
 (zImage).

This should already be the case the boot app will first look for uImage-$MACHINE
and then try zImage-$MACHINE.

 As for GTA01 support I'm playing around with a 2.6.32 based kernel
 but with the initramfs embedded the result is to big ~2.4M. So we 
 need to shrink it by 400K to fit into the kernel partition. Not yet
 sure how this should be done without either losing features (usb 
 network access for example)

Ok it turned out that there was some bloat hiding both in userspace 
(freetype comes to mind) and also in the kernel. I am now able to
generate a kernel+initramfs which fits into the 2M GTA01 NAND kernel
partition. However the touchscreen doesn't yet work, it might be a
calibration issue or my kernel config is incomplete or I broke something
while rebasing the kernel to 2.6.32. Anyway this needs more time to
investigate...
