Some newbee questions about Qtmoko, navit, Vodafone GPRS and battery capacity
Hi, a few weeks ago I purchased an Freerunner. I decided to install Qtmoko v3.5 on an 8GB sd-card. Most things working like a charm. But I have some problems: 1. I installed navit form the zip- file, according to the wiki. But I do not get the gps position, in NeronGPS I get the fix. I installed also gpsd via apt-get and by starting /usr/sbin/gpsd -F /var/run/gpsd.sock -P /var/run/gpsd.pid /dev/ttySAC1 I get NMEA output with gpsmon. The navit.xml- file includes also the line vehicle name=Local GPS profilename=car enabled=yes active=1 source=gpsd://localhost gpsd_query=w+xj . So there is the problem? 2. I tried to use Vodafone GPRS (Germany). But this did not work! I get a failure notice, that file /etc/ppp/peers/dialup1310463241 was not found. I found an example file in /usr/share/doc/ppp/examples called peers-gprs. But I am not sure about the config entries in this file and if I need another files.So has anybody an working Vodafone configuration for Germany and can tell me someting about the correct entries in these files? I made the config with the Qtmoko GUI, but these file(s) are missing :-( 3. If I switch off all radio, exccept the gsm, the battery is unloaded during night (8-9h). Is this OK or is the battery broken (due to long storage time at Handheld Linux)? Ok, these are the first questions about my new Freerunner. The additonal questions about using my VirtualLaser Keyboard (Bluetooth connection, working with my openSUSE 11.3 Notebook) and the use of an external, USB connected LAN- adapter are asked later. :-) -- Kind regaards Sebastian Reinhardt ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Can you give me a link to the binary you used? Does it have source code too? 3. If I switch off all radio, exccept the gsm, the battery is unloaded during night (8-9h). Is this OK or is the battery broken (due to long storage time at Handheld Linux)? If the phone is not in suspend this will definitely happen. -Timo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

install navit with apt-get, it will show up in QX. then ensure the option for the gps module is checked and you're good to go.

Neo as usb host and providing power to attached device
Hi Using: Linux hackable1 2.6.29-rc3-hackable1 #2 PREEMPT Tue Sep 15 13:07:51 CEST 2009 armv4tl GNU/Linux I am following instructions at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_USB_host So far this command seems to work: root@hackable1:~# echo host /sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode In order to provide power to the attached device wiki article advises the following command: echo 1 /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode But I cannot see any file called hostmode in /sys/devices/platform and FWIW; root@hackable1:~# find /sys/devices/platform/|egrep 'mode|host' /sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_host:usb_host1 /sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-sdi/mmc_host:mmc1 Thanks for advice on how to set the neo to provide power over usb. -- - Eric Smith ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The /sys paths change with kernel versions. I personally don't think it is a good idea for users to try to directly access them. If you install the omhacks package you can control usb power without having to remember direct /sys paths. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
